We are one of those teams.
Due to weight constraints, we went from a robot that had 6 motors similar to that of 2014 to a robot with only 1 CIM on each side. We started with a 2 CIM 1 Banebot 775-18 on each side, then got rid of the Banebot for several regionals, then finally 1 CIM on each side at CMPS. We did this in order to make weight as we added 1, then 2 ramps and also to add our upper claw to hold the trash can in place while stacking.
This game was perfect for having just 1 motor on each drive, considering all we did eventually was make stacks from the feeder station.
