The ability to use 6 CIM motors and 4 MiniCIM motors were a blessing this year, and the majority of teams took advantage of them. However, it was brought to my attention that, like 2010, the extra CIMs from 2013 may not be legal the next year. Personally, I would love for FIRST to continue the use of 6 CIM motors and 4 Mini CIMs; Teams could build 6-CIM single speed gearboxes to compete with the shifters, use the motors to power their shooters, climbers, etc.

What are your opinions on the motor allowance this year? Would you like to see this trend continue for future games? Do you think it's probable that FIRST will continue allowing these extra motors?
