Pro tip: If using this setup, never run the motors at 100% power. 85% power works beautifully, and won't destroy the motors (or the balls).

It wasn't really my decision. The impression that I have gotten from why that decision was made is that we had already made a shooter with CIMs going into the CIMple box and the person building it didn't want to take the CIMple box off of the bot. I had actually suggested removing the CIMple box from the equation but it was basically said that we didn't have time for "that type of change".
