Re: most "epic" motor ever

[quote=JesseK;1033040]Eh, I'd like some sort of constraint on CIMs.../QUOTE]

How about weight? Each 2.5" CIM weighs aout 2.5 lbs IIRC. 4 = 10lbs, 8 = 20 lbs. Unless someone knows some magic I don't there really isn't any way to lighten them. At some point most teams are going to have to use lighter motors so as not to eat up so much of their 120 lb weight budget. I think allowing 6 CIMs at most would be a reasonable thing to do unless they up the 120 lb weight limit, increase the number of 40A slots on the PD board, and up the 120A main breaker - none of which I see happening anytime soon. There are plenty of contraints already limiting the "unlimited use of CIMS".
