Mini Cim Drive Motors?

I'll shoot Paul an Email and see if he can correct me.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the design intent. Joe Johnson explained why it doesn't matter if motor speeds match in this post. For packaging reasons, we geared 2 CIMs 1:1 with 2 mini-CIMs in our climbing mechanism this year and it seemed to work fine.
