I'm going to say, 12. 4 CIM + 4 MiniCIM for the drivetrain. 2x 775s for the intake. 2x [insert 500 series motor here] for the catapult. A 13th if you count the motor inside the compressor.

Close but the catapult is a lot stronger than that. 2 CIMs + 2 775s. We didn't show our deep ball in the video but we can just about make an 18 ft shot. Its not reliable enough right now for competition but if everything goes well it might be ready for Lone Star or for the summer events.
Total motor count is 14 plus 8 pneumatic cylinders. I'm doing a battery order tomorrow. We got 6 new ones last year and are buying 6 more this year. The launcher also should only run for a grand total of 15-20 seconds a match.
If everyone spent half as much time reading and understanding the rules as they do complaining, arguing, and disagreeing about rules, we might not even be having this discussion. - AmyPrib [more]
