Re: Where to get the CIM motors?
As a follow-up to what Pete said, some of the previous years' small CIM motors also have a fully keyed shaft. For those of you using older CIM motors in the new Banebot 2x CIM Adapter, you'll find that the fully keyed shaft doesn't work with this new gearbox. (I should post this observation in a new thread as well...)

There are subtle differences in many of the FIRST motors over the years. Just be sure that you are aware of the differences, and are able to design around them.
