My Team was wondering if we can substitute small CIM motors from two years ago, or even last year, instead of buying new ones from IFI?

It would save us a considerable amount of time because we could get our drive train together about a week earlier.

I have tried to find this website but it is either down or unavailable. Can anyone provide a glimmer of insight as to what adaptations are available or allowed under the COTS rule?

Thanks and best to everyone in FIRST.

The AndyMark, Inc., Website URL actually is www.andymark.biz. I can't find anything on there about using the large CIM with the KOP gearbox.
