Uses of CIMS and associated reductions

[Dad1279]

2006 - Direct drive approx 5" wheel for Shooter
2009 - Direct drive 10" Fans
2010 - Approx 1:4 increase (belt drive) to power shop-vac internals
2011 - 12:56 CIMple Box to 20 tooth sprocket to power elevator
2013 - 12:18 to 10tpi leadscrew to lift robot

For arms etc what rpm did you typically gear down to? FP, BB, etc?
20rpm? 60rpm?

if you could pick a reduction for a CIM, what would it be?

a) We have used pneumatics for arms and arm-like mechanisms.
b) Do you mean an integral reduction? It's so easy to interface a CIM, I would not want an integrated gearbox, especially if it is a planetary.

However, I'd love to get a bag motor with an integral 20:1 planetary (700 rpm) in the KOP each year.
