Does this modified CIM motor count to the maximum CIM motor count on a robot?

4 CIM + 1 Modified CIM = Legal??

Thankz
Toby - 1396
MAXIMUM of 6 Total CIMs

4 Little - Big Boys: The smaller motor with more power
  • 2 came in the KOP & you can buy, borrow or trade for 2 motor
2 Big Berthas: The largish (but less powerful) motors used on a Fisher Price Scooter of some kind. The ones that have the pulley for the toothed belt (from Gates Rubber if Paul Copioli is to be believed)
  • 2 came in the KOP
