I'm interested to see how your new robot comes out and performs.
Keep us posted on your progress!

There is little reason to use a CIM for each shooter when you have 4 mini CIMs. They are lighter, spin a bit faster, and have sufficient torque. Also, you can spin the shooters off of the same motors, and while your spin up time might suffer, you the time it takes to get all your frisbees out is 1/3 of normal. 3 mini CIMs/2 CIMs powering both shooters will probably be fine.
