Be cautious with the 6-CIM single-speed drive if you use it on your competition bot - it's very easy to trip your main breaker if your gearing is too aggressive (we found this out the hard way last year). Shifters are definitely the way to go.

Thanks!
We wouldn't use 6 cims if we had a single speed, the gearbox has the capability to have 6, but it isn't necessary for our purposes. Although, I don't know if we would use 6 with a shifter.
