Vex/WCP has indicated their CIM simulating gearboxes can be used to combine other motors into the shifting transmission, so this may be an option, but you may very well have less than 6 CIMS available. So far 2013 has been the exception, not the rule.
Jeff is spot on,

The other options are:

-Use a MiniCIM which is designed to drop in 1:1.
-Use a Bag/550/775 with a versaplanetary

OR

-Use the new VEXpro CIM-ile
