So one CIM motor is nearly 5 times as powerful, and with proper gearing can deliver the same pushing force as pneumatics would.
What this says is that you need a compressor powered by several CIM motors

what if you create a shifting mechanism between pneumatics and CINs, so you can push with pneumatics engaged and drive with the CIM motors?
also, when I was thinking of power, I was thinking of the power during the time before the tanks ran out, which I think would be more powerful than the CIMs during the same time period (how would I do the math to find out though, where is the power rating for a cylinder?)
