Shooter Motors

[av3]

We want to use more than four cim motors for our robot. However, we're only allowed to use four max for the competition. We're using motors for our drive system, and for our shooting mechanism. Are there any other motors out there that we can use as a substitution for either the drive, or shooting mechanism?

Some of the smaller motors are fine for running a shooter mechanism, just make sure they are geared up/down depending on what you're looking for.

You don't have to use all 4 motors on the drive, I've used only 1 CIM per gearbox for years and the only reason I would advise to put 2 on on a single gearbox is torque (assuming you're using a standard 6 wheel West Coast Drive).
