I have no idea where they could have got that idea from. 4 CIMs is pretty much the 'standard' drivetrain in FIRST. This year, you will likely see teams using all 6 of their CIMs, and probably quite a few with 6 motors in their drivetrain (though most teams do 2 CIMs and another motor per side). It does drain a bit more of your battery, but not enough to make a difference in a 2 minute match.
