2.Yes, that is just the large CIM. This year our team is going for simplicity, so the transmission is designed around the big CIM 2500 rpm. We did not use the small CIM's anywhere else.

I'm admittedly confused about this... If no small CIMs are being used, why didn't you build a ball lock using two small CIMs? It'd be about the same weight and over twice as powerful.
