What on earth did you do to those motors to get them so rusty?. I know ours have splotches of it, but that looks pretty extreme to me.

Is that even rust? It looks kind of wierd.

agreed. Now that you say that it looks like epoxy or something else painted on there.

Keep in mind we have salt-air with 100% huminity all the time at like 85 to 110 degres all the time

But is it even rust?

What Do you think?

I think that was why they asked....

maybe tytus broke the little nub that stopped the motor from spinning around in the mount, so he just glued it in instead?

Maybe he was trying to sniff the epoxy and, after succeeding beyond his wildest imaginings, smeared it all over the motor for some reason . . . . ?

This is what you get for guessing games!

Guessing games are annoying. If you got something to share, please share it. Otherwise, don't waste valuable time ;)

Yeah that is rust. For some odd reason the drill motors have a tendancy to just rust. It has happened with all four of our drill motors. Two of which are in a box and two of which are on the robot.

thats wierd. . . ours are absolutely spotless, as far as I know, and saint louis isn't really known for its low-humidity summers, if you know what I'm saying . . Its not like its a swamp here, but it is still pretty hot and wet in the summer.

No rust, either. Actually, I haven't seen our motors since we put them is (the drills are underneath our control board, hard to access) so maybe they look like that.

Salt-Air
We have everything in WPB, Beach, swamp, City, Suberbs, Gettos, Etc...

My team's drill motors were in a storage room. They really should not have rusted since they were stored inside and the amount of rust was about the same in the picture.

we are 4 miles from the beach... in south florida.. most of our drill motors weren't stored at all.. just left on benches ( cuz we are always playing with them )... they deff. don't look like that lol
