drill motor
 

Has any team's new drill motors come broken? Team 314's drill motors came with the plastic brush holder's broken. :confused:

Yeah I know those brush leads are %%%%. They break very easily when any force is applied to them. The odd fact is that the motors still work broken.

yeah, we've had the same type of problem with our drill motors. last night when we were driving one of the brushes came off and destroyed all the fan blades and broke the plastic piece that holds it in :mad:

we have had no problems with ours yet and he have ran our tracks many times!!!!

This is our configuration for our drive-train

The fan blades broke on ours too when the wires came off.

now show me a picture of the wire leads. Hmm shock mounting the motors is probably a must.

One of our drill motors are broken too. What are you guys doing about?

The back clip snapped apart when a very minimal force was applied by one of the mentors reattaching a connector.

Yes, walter_jr i agree. No problems here. Hrmm your drive train looks very similar to our =p.

I think they are just not being careful with the motors..... we dropped one and it still worked.. thnk god...

yes yes i remeber that! omg i thought a new hole was going to be punched in to a wall that was funny tho =)

Ours broke when a mentor was pushing a connector on. The motor still works, but the tab on the back is b0rk3d

We left the wires that came with it on it... I don't know why you would want to change the wires anyways

Your supposed to because the wires aren't the proper gauge.

well not to name any names but a person on our team broke the transmission off r drill motor within the first 15sec lol but not to worry it was fixed in minutes

Oops we broke our first drill motor today.... Some top secret part of our robot hit the one brush, pushed it in, and broke the brush holder and all the fan blades..... GOOD THING THEY ONLY COST 18 bucks

We also over-tightend the plastic motor mounts and they broke in our first week.
