CIM Motor Count
Our robot is currently running on the 2 gearboxes provided by FIRST, using 2 CIM motors each. This brings us to the limit on the max number of CIM motors allowed on the robot. This year, the KOP also included a CIM motor specially fit with a conveyor belt mechanism (keyed sleeve over the shaft and large spring-pressed guide). Does this modified CIM motor count to the maximum CIM motor count on a robot?

4 CIM + 1 Modified CIM = Legal??

Thankz
Toby - 1396
