Re: 6 CIM Motors?

When Dave made the comment at kickoff something to the effect that just because you were given (14) motors doesn't mean you have to use them all, we started laughing. A couple years ago we used all but one, and we considered just putting it on as a counter weight

Even though the 2 new CIM's are more powerful, we are usually traction or control limited and not power limited so I'v guessing we'll use 4 smaller ones for our drive train to keep things common and use the other 2 for fun stuff.
