Re: FIRST Acronyms
CIM is <edit>NOT</edit> a recursive acronym. It stands for "CCL Industrial Motor," and it is produced by the CCL Industrial Motors company of Hong Kong. "CCL" stands for Chiaphua Components Limited, which is the conglomerate that owns CIM.

A FSU is both a unit of time or money: either the 6-week build season or the cost of the KoP.

*snip*
I think recursive means it refers to itself, not another acronym. Also, we (840) have an unrelated sponsor called CIM-during my freshman year, I thought they were the same thing >_>
