Re: 2007 CIM's in 2008?

I think the rules are being read into a little too deeply. There will not be an issue of where/when the motors come from, as long as the part numbers match the rules, and you account for the two additional ones in your cost accounting using the current cost of a new CIM motor. You never have to actually purchase an additional part for your robot (i.e. can use parts your team currently has), but any part you use has to be commercially available to any team (obviously, these motors are), meet any rules for allowed parts, and has to be cost accounted for.
