Re: How many CIMs in your drivetrain?

We did a 2 CIM drivetrain last year, but Recycle Rush was definitely a special case; you didn't want to accelerate quickly or drive very fast. We're starting with 4 this year, and if we change it, we'll be going to six.

I've read about people considering 4 CIM + 4 min-CIM designs for Mecanum and 4-wheel Killough, but was unable to find any examples that had been built and played.
