Direct drive with CIM?

[gibbta]

I would not recommend doing this last year we had direct drive for are shooter and when we turned it on all the control lites on the robot would fade out and c-rio would turn off. Testing it off of a test board and a real board are very diffident things. But outer then that warning we made are a custom cim to wheel hub.

Huh?

I'm about 100% positive you can direct drive a CIM on a competition robot. Your issue is something else sir.

I'd recommend against going straight to 100%, as this would essentially cause a full short through the motor while it spins up and thus cause a huge voltage drop on the robot. A gradual ramp up in duty cycle would be better to spin up the CIM, although it would take longer than full duty cycle.
