Re: Second set of motors

Both last year's and this year's kitbot gearboxes were designed to work with two CIM motors per box, so you could run a 4-CIM drivetrain. It is irrelevant that they are different from each other. Mounting a second motor to each gearbox only requires that you attach the proper pinion gear (with key), and insert it into the space that's already there for it in the gearbox. Screw the new motor into place, then add two more motor controllers to your wiring and electronics setup.

Re: Second set of motors

Also, adding the new motors at competition (once you've got the relevant parts) will be even easier than at your school/garage, simply because most of the teams there are not only skilled at doing exactly the work needed, but they will be thrilled to help. It is one of the joys of most FIRST teams to help other teams out in the pit area.
