The maximum number of motors you can use this year is not 8! It is the total number of motors in the kit plus the extra 2 cims.

Remeber folks we have, Fisher Price motors, Small cims, Big cims, Bane Bots, Window Motors, Muchabi,




As for the 3 motor drive teams have done it from time to time. If I was going to do that this year I would most likely use 2 small cims and the AM FP planetary.

here is an example from team 217
