CIM Legality
In the rules section <R51> it states:

"D. One or two additional 2-1/2” CIM motors (part #FR801-001 and/or M4-R0062-12) in addition
to those provided in the Kit Of Parts. This means that up to four, and no more, 2-1/2” CIM
motors can be used on the ROBOT."

So, the question then is, Can a CIM motor of a larger or smaller size than mentioned in <R51 D> (2-1/2” CIM motors) be legally used on the robot (that are not of a previous robots)? By all suppositions and according to <R52 A> "(Motors that are prohibited)Electric motors and/or servos different from, or in addition to, those in the Kit of Parts, with the exception of those specificalLy PERMITTED in <R51>.". This implies that becuase motors that are not of the sizes of the CIM motors mentioned in <R51> are allowed they are therefore mentioned in that section and are thus legal.
