Re: Modifying CIMs to implode?

This has been done. I remember very cleary seeing shiny CIM motors on 190's bot last year. I asked a friend of mine who was on the team why the CIM motors looked so skinny. He pointed out that <R31> allowed for modification of the motors structurally, not electrically. I agreed that it was legal, but wasn't sure if it was worth it. I forgot how much weight they lost with this. Obviously, they competed with them, so if anyone questioned the legality of the modified motors, it didn't go anywhere.

My guess is that FIRST will allow it, again. Of course, my preference would be to just not use all 4 of those heavy guys, but alas..

I don't like heavy stuff.
