I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: CIMs
Are there any alternative ideas?

Could we fit 1 Mini Bike motor on the stock banebot tranny instead of 2 CIM's?

You probably could with a little alteration of the motor shaft... but I believe the Minibike motors are weaker than the small CIMS.

Your batteries are going to hate you if you use all of the small CIMs and mini-bike CIMs.

Re: CIMs
Yes you can do all of that, if you read the FIRST manual in detail, especially section The Robot. You are allowed four (4) small CIM's and two (2) large Minibike CIM's. The manual is a PDF, and PDF's are searchable.

Re: CIMs
Utilize the other motors....the FP w/ a BaneBots 42mm gearbox could definitely power an arm. If the torque isn't enough, then use two (you can have up to two FP motors with whatever gearbox). We are doing this to power our forklift.
