And did I hear someone say that the CIM motors move slower or give less torque in one direction than the other? Um... a little enlightenment please?

Thanks.

The motors have a slight bias in their windings that makes them spin faster in forward than reverse. For the CIM's it's hard to notice. 2004 and prior it was a big deal, as the drill motors had a significant forward bias, and the robot would drift fairly badly if not compensated for.
