Hmm... we had a CIM on our 2004 robot. It is probably sitting around in a parts bucket somewhere. There were also some relays and speed controllers that would likely pass muster for the current competition. The catch is, however, that I couldn't tell you whether the relay, controller or CIM was from 2004 or 2010.

Fortunately the CIM, controller and relay would all be permissible under 12C, so long as we removed any pinion gears from the CIM first. (CIM + Pinion gear = Fabricated Part)
