I would not jump to this conclusion. Over the course of multiple regionals, I have not seen a single mini-CIM failure on any team's robot. Weeks of extensive, high load prototyping on this motor from my team only resulted in no more "damage" than a warm motor. The mini-CIM definitely lives up to the CIM's reputation as an abusable workhorse of a motor, and I'm really glad we decided to use them this year.
