My team used the large CIM motors in the 2006 season. It was a big mistake. When one of the small CIM motors is geared to the same speed as the large motor it will produces a little bit more torque. we used the stock 4 small CIM setup in 2005 and I have driven both robots and will admit that our 2006 drive train was under powered compared with the 2005 robot. The two robot drive trains are very different from each other so it’s hard to make an accurate assessment. But having worked with both I would have to say that large CIM motors will work but 4 small CIM motors will out perform them.
