Re: your thoughts on the FP CIM/2.5 CIM motor drive setup versus 2 2.5 CIM motors

Here's a pretty definitive answer:

We built two identical drive trains last year. One for the competition robot and one for practice/prototyping. The practice/prototyping robot used one FP CIM (The Big CIM) and one small CIM on each side. The competition robot used two small CIMs on each side.

Our driver didn't seem to notice any difference. Handling wasn't affected. They both worked identically.

However, we saved a significant amount of weight by switching to the small CIMs.
