Re: pic: drive module with shifting and up to 4 CIMs/mCIMs2

I'm not convinced anything past 3 motors per gearbox is worth it (diminishing returns and all), but even without the MiniCims I really like this gearbox. It essentially takes up no space, since most teams never use that area of their robot for anything else.

I'd explain why you don't need to do that, but Paul Copioli does it better.
