My team is using two CIM motors to power our robot. Last year we used two motor two power and it worked fine. We had a six wheel drive. The two center wheels had the power and the four outer wheels were "omni" wheels just for support. As for a shooter we are going to use the other two CIM motors

Just a word of caution if you plan on using the same drive train this year, climbing the ramp will be difficult at best.

Not a rhetorical question: have you ever driven a 4-cim robot?
