The CIMs plug in to the gearbox directly. The FPs are passing through AM Planetary gearboxes first.

we are useiong 10 I think

2 fp w/AM planetaries for drive
4 cims for something I'm not telling
and four other small motors for something I'm not telling
(I'm not sure on these I've been sick and haven't been to the past few meetings)

6 exactly

4 cims and two denso's

[Trent B]

4 CIM via 4 Toughboxs
2 Window (tentative, may or may not occur.

It would seem that way, if one didn't know about all the fancy things our drive base will do. Trust me, it needs that much headroom in drive power.

At this point, 15 motors. What are they capable of? Adding a LOT of weight

You've made it abundantly clear what your drive could do elsewhere, I still stand by my statement that your drive is "overpowered", as in, using far more power (regardless of how it's used) than required to be competitive. I also still think the conveyors are underpowered (they may move, but slow I imagine).

i would expect nothing less from BBS

6:
2 CIMs on drive
2 CIMs on the shooter
1 Globe on the turret
1 Globe on the shooter feeder

We are not sure, maybe 6 -7. But i have a question. How many window motors can we use?

You can use up to the number of window motors that came in the 2009 kit and no more. Specifically that would be 2 Nippon-Denso motors (1 Right-hand and 1 left-hand) and 1 Keyang motor.

We are using 5
4 Cim Motors: for each Wheel with Toughboxes
1 Window Motor: For Steering

4cims, 2 fish, 2 window

i wnt to see how this will work

Wow, I'm getting the impression that my team's robot is overly simple:

2 CIMs for drive
1 CIM for conveyor belt
1 globe for the dumper.

Well, I guess its just fewer things that can go wrong...
