Re: your thoughts on the FP CIM/2.5 CIM motor drive setup versus 2 2.5 CIM motors

thanks for the comments.
I am assuming then that a FP CIM / CIM combination will not outdo a CIM / CIM combination.
We understand the whole transfer of power to the floor issue and traction effectiveness. However, with all else equal, just wanted to know.
Due to timing issues, we are debating whether to plan to modify the AM supershifter plates to accept the big FP CIM motor, since there are no provisions for it at the moment.
If it makes a difference in a pushing match, we will go that route.
Our robot had tractions issues also last year and we were looking to improve on that and several related areas. Our function designs were fine last year when trying to score ringers.
