I can recall asking someone new to write "cRio" down on a list and later found they wrote "cereal"

[Sperkowsky]

I did this same exact thing as a freshman. Except it was a sharpie directly on the bin...

Its still there...

I also thought it was Sim motor on my freshman year... One of the seniors made me believe they were invented by Simbotics 1114, so that made some kind of sense

I always thought they were related to one of our sponsors, CIM3...

SimMotor?

Non-FRC related, a couple decades ago our entire english class spent 4 months believing we had a discussion with our teacher about the Poet's Surprise Award.

As it turns out.... Pulitzer Prize....

CIM Motor stands for the CCL Industrial Motor. CCL standing for Chiaphua Components Limited. They also make the AM 9015 motor. No idea if they make the BAG or miniCIM.

[RoboChair]

Yes, but the real question is who still knows what CIM stands for these days?

EDIT: How did I not see that someone already listed the answer in the above post?

Always did think it was funny to call it the CCL Industrial Motor Motor kinda like ATM Machine.

I am in favor of renaming the motor to the CCLIM (pronounced slim)

Back in the day we called them Chalupas, because of their bulk. I think it may have been Big Al who came up with that one.

I think that little joke came from mispronouncing "Chiaphua" one too many times.
