Re: Dead cim

From what I have heard from electrical and motor engineers, CIMS are actually fairly frail.

However, from a FIRST standpoint, the only time I have seen CIMS fail were due to mechanical accidents.

#1: Small fragments of steel fell into the CIM through the mounting holes. Fragments of a bolt that was removed (ie haphazardly cut off) fell down into the CIM.

#2: During the 2010 build season, one of our members drove our robot up the ramp at an odd angle and cracked the CIM at the connection between the casing and the metal face plate. This was due to a design error with the CIMs facing outward (though the design called for them to be internal)
