Re: Chain vs. Belts?!?
I bought one from Dave's motors earlier this afternoon and it shipped only a couple hours later. So far they seem to be a good supplier, and they take PayPal which is nice.

Re: Electrical connectors on control system items

I looked through the manual but could not seem to find reference to it anywhere. Does anyone have a link to official FRC documentation as to what a field fault is?
Thanks.
