We ran the WCP 3 CIM on our last robot and were very pleased.
As a team with limited machining tools available and even more limited machine shops.
Well ok, no real machine shop on the island... It was a great way for us to move to a more competitive drivetrain.
I would recommend these transmissions as an easily incorporated subsystem.
We ran 5.5/15fps and never tripped the breaker, didn't even get warm..
Originally we ran the Versa wheels, but they couldn't handle.

This is what happened to our tires in our first practice match.
The robot ran into the wall during autonomous and drove constantly in low gear. Luckily they were not too expensive..
Changed to Colson at worlds, not going back. In fact our new Colson wheels arrived last week!
The power was great!
First time running a shifter and the shifting never failed.
If our CNC doesn't arrive we would use them again, if it works with the new game.. Our poor CNC It is on a boat, sailing 1000's of miles to us. Hope that hurricane last week doesn't add another month or so.
The 3 CIM DS has a fairly large footprint. It is why we are toying with the motors over the frame.
(New rendition is a one piece 4 motor with the pneumatic shifter under the motors)
Hope this helps.
Aloha!
The big lesson we learned ... our past does not limit our future, that superior attitude will beat out big budgets. - [more]
