CIMs were definitely in the 2003 KOP just not a part of the kit chassis design. We custom built a gearbox for the CIMs for our rear wheels and used the drill motors and the weird plastic right angle helical gearboxes for the front wheels.

I'm not sure about before 2003 since I wasn't on the team before then and they weren't on the previous year's robots my team had built.
