Extra CIM.... question

[apalrd]

You don't need the toughboxes for the drive motors either, you could make your own or use AM Shifter or AM super Shifters or a BB planetary or DeWalt something like that. That said, if you are a rookie team without many skilled machinists, the kit transmission would be the easiest way to go.

If you are set on using the Toughbox for the 5th CIM but are using it for non-drive, a Toughbox Nano would provide the same thing for smaller size and weight.

Toughboxes weigh alot. Weight = BAD. FRC robots are almost always right on the 120lb edge of things, and every ounce counts.

For high-speed rollers, direct-driving off a CIM or gearing it down with chain alone would probably work fine.
