Re: CIM Motors reusable?
CIM motors are the most durable motors allowed in FRC. We've definitely gotten some mileage out of them, and I've never actually seen one go bad. Usually we'll use old CIM motors on our practice bot when we run out of new ones. I've never felt any noticeable difference in power on the drivetrain, where they're primarily used. This past year, a 2008 CIM motor actually wound up on the flywheel for our 2013 competition bot, and it worked absolutely fine all year. Though we made sure to peel the 2008 sticker off at our first regional in case any nosy pit scouts were to take notice

Getting a swerve to drive predictably and effectively is arguably harder than designing and building it.
