Can we use globe motors this year?
 
My team is disapointed with the change of motors this year and we have gotten into a discussion over wether using the old globe motors is legal. Any answers for us?
Thanks!

Can you use them? That would depend on your level of experience...

May you use them?
Not on a legal FRC robot...this year.. so far

You can use the globe transmissions, if they weren't modified previous to this season, and adapt a kit motor to the housing. There are easier ways to get what you need via AndyMark and Banebots. :) :)

No, but you are merely feeling a sense of withdrawal, the same experienced by many teams upon the removal of the van door motor or the drill motors from kits in years past. The mighty Globe has finally run it's course. :D





I still experience a sense of withdrawal when I see a van door motor laying around the shop.

would've been nice this year, seeing as banebots has a 10-15 day lead time for gearboxes

Not to go too much off tangent, but wouldn't it be nice if game hints actually told you what motors and quantities were in the KOP so that teams could order ahead of time?

no, and the bane bots are a major disappointment as well, the rs775 is only 70 watts of power at 12 volts.

This is not true at all. The RS775-18v is over 200 watts of power when operating at 12v.

FIRST's spec sheet refers to the 12v model.

At 40A, the rs775 has 270 Watts output, the same as a CIM.

I have a question related to the tangent about the banebots motor...

Did the kit include the RS-775-18 or RS 775 12

Chris is me 09-02-2011 23:17
Re: Can we use globe motors this year?
 
It included the 18v motor. You should use the 18v motor.
