Can we use globe motors this year?

And now you're on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumen...ng_a_precedent.

I'm not saying that I necessarily disagree with you on that, though.

I would hope that if BaneBots decided to donate a pile of CIM-U-Lators and motors, FIRST would not ditch the CIMs, especially not right away. If they did do that, they'd need to bring in another motor with lots of power and high reliability, or the complaining over Minibot rulings that didn't seem to make a lot of sense a few weeks ago would be a mild drizzle in winter compared to the outcry that would ensue. When the drills left, the CIM number was stepped up. When the Keyang left, more Densos were allowed. The Van Door motor didn't really have a replacement, much to the grief of quite a few people. The Globes were replaced with BB motors, as was an FP.

I think we're more likely to see CIMs and window motors kept and motors similar to the BB motors gradually disappear.
