Re: Window motors in parallel
Thanks. We'll take a look at the Banebot motors. Can the pinion gears be pulled off the FP 9015 or 0673 motors and pressed onto the Banebots? Will the Banebot motors mount to the FP gearboxes without modification?
Regarding the rules, I've reviewed the 2011 FRC Manual, and Section 4.3.9 Motors & Actuators <R45> states: "Motors specifically permitted on 2011 FRC ROBOTS include: A. all motors, actuators, and servos listed in the 2011 KOP Checklist". The checklist actually lists "FisherPrice Gearbox, 12VDC w/ 16 tooth pinion, -9015 motor". If the 9015 motor is illegal, then that seems to be contradicted by the 2011 checklist. If not for the statement on the AndyMark website, I would not have given it another thought.
