After seeing the limited list of legal motors for 2016, it seems like the miniCIM and BAG motor were determined to replace the RS775 and RS550.

We have used the RS775s. The CIM, although an honorable motor, is no RS775.

What do you mean? We will find out what is legal on kickoff like we do every year. All we know now is what isn't legal (BB775 and BB550). FIRST could decide to make all commercial gas powered lawn motor engines legal, I doubt it but that is part of the joy of kickoff. You never know.
