Shooter motors?

What motors did you use on your shooter? I was surprised to see many teams using the minbike and normal CIMS up at the top of their robots. We used the FPs, with a BaneBots 1:5 gearbox to get the power we needed for a lot less weight. We avoided the minibike CIMS at all costs, since they weigh ~5 pounds apiece

(If I remember correctly).
