A question about the 6 CIMs comment...

Am I correct in stating that the current KOP Drive Base Chassis only includes a gearbox with input for 4 CIM motors (2 for each side)? If so, are there any gearboxes that mesh well with the KOP Drive Base that offer 6 CIMs? If 6 CIMs is not easily done using the KOP pieces, can't we achieve the same level of torque by sacrificing speed? Obviously you'd be a better defender with more pushing power, but you'd decrease your cycle time of delivering balls to the front lines.

We're also debating whether or not it's necessary to have a 2 speed option, so I'd appreciate any feedback about that. Any comments about how difficult that might be to implement (and keep in mind that we are rookies!)?

Thanks,
Tim
