We used the dewalts with the small CIMs this year (based on the NBD white paper), and we never got them to work right. We had major problems with the sun gear at first, and we actually cracked one while modifying it. Then we couldn't get them to mount properly on the robot, and we ran into problems shifting. It might have worked if we had had enough time to get them to work, so I would definitely recommend tinkering with them in the off-season before deciding to use them on your robot. Given the time it took to get them to work halfway, we will not be using them again.
