Did anyone use all 4 CIM motors for the wheels

[tennisbeast29]

Hi, this is my first post and my first year on a team!
How many of you used a CIM motor for each of your wheels?

The maximum we can use is 4 CIM motors right?

[Akash Rastogi]

MORT Team 11 did and yes.

Welcome to FIRST and Chief Delphi.

btw edit your profile so we can see what team you're on.

2 CIM's and 2 gearboxes haha we had a choice of 4 though

[nnfuller]

2 CIMs on two tranies. We need the CIMs elsewhere.

4 CIMs but our drive train is very special. You all will like it when we show it off. Our robot is motor crazy: 4 drive motors, 2 steering motors, 1 motor for collector, 1 motor for hopper, 1 motor for shooter, and 1 motor for turret. That is 10 motors!! Luckily we aren't using pneumatics or we would be so heavy.

Welcome to CD. Please include a name (i.e.AKA Steve) so we can address answers to a real person. We are all friends here.

HELLOooo from the North East
Yep all 4 are being used for the drive, as we have done in the past years. Good luck to all see ya SOOOooooon
MOE and team 88 TJ2 oh yeah???? OH YEAH !!!! TYE DYE for EVER .....

we have two cims in the drive, and our scoring device has one globe, one cim, one rs545, and one kenyang motor (the silver window motor)

[647techangel]

we have 4 CIM's and 4 gearboxes we are using and a special extra secret thing we are also using on our drivetrain

[Jon Stratis]

4 CIM motors is the maximum limit, per <R51> D:

<R51>
Motors specifically permitted on 2009 FRC ROBOTS include:
[...]
D.
One or two additional 2-1/2” CIM motors (part #FR801-001 and/or M4-R0062-12) in addition to those provided in the Kit Of Parts. This means that up to four, and no more, 2-1/2” CIM motors can be used on the ROBOT.

Last year we used 4 CIM motors on our drive train, the prior year we only used 2... stay tuned for our design this year!

4 CIMs (on the drive train)
2 Globe Motors - Conveyor
2 BB 545 Motors - Shooter
2 Window Motors - 1 turret, 1 feeder
5 Pneumatic pistons - 4 for drive train, 1 is classified until Feb 26th

Unfortunately, there's no way around this with our ambitious design. It's a good thing we know how to design for weight ahead of time!

[Kyle Love]

2 cims on the drive
2 cims on the accumulator
1 FP on the shooter (maybe an additional one after testing)
No pneumatics

[RoboGeek99]

We decided that the extra cim would be pointless bc too much torque and we would just spin out and if we go too fast it would be too easy too lose control...so only 2 gearboxes with 1 cim on each

[Rick Wagner]

Team 294, Beach Cities Robotics, is using all four CIMs, a CIM and a gearbox on each of four wheels. That's because we have the two rear wheels angled at 45 degrees for more turning torque.

[Alan Anderson]

We're not even using two CIM motors for the wheels.
