My team, 1086 Blue Cheese, thought the same thing after having a CIM on our elevator at our first regional and tested with the single FP between our first and second regionals. After finding that the FP stalled we tried the Double Doozy on a custom gearbox we made, which was basically a flattened out ToughBox due to size restraints in the space around our elevator. Originally we had problems with the pinion gear teeth sheering off, turns out they were created out of a bad batch of metal. Of course AndyMark express shipped us 5 or 6 more out of a good batch and we never had one sheer again. Back to the point of this post, we found that under the stress we put our 2 BaneBots 550's under in our elevator was enough to burn them out about every 2 to 3 matches. The problem even continued when our elevator had two constant force tension spring helping each stage up individually. Hope our experiences with this help!
