Re: CIM motors on Kitbot Chassis

I will preface by saying, welcome! And, that I haven't really looked at the kitbot frame yet, so what I say might not be valid; maybe the mods necessary to make it work are to big for a rookie to take on.

That being said, having four CIMs is a big advantage in pushing matches, and (to some extent) in getting your robot up to top speed quickly. These days, there are very few robots running 2 CIM drives, and you will be at a distinct disadvantage when going head-to-head. Some robots will even use six CIMs!

Hope that helps. Best of luck!
