Just curious about how you measured the power of the 775 vs the 550. Did you use a dynamometer? Or did you use the motors in a lifting application with a gearbox? Did you compare the work done over time?

The only info I have to go on is the motor curve provided by FRC, and the data sheet on the Banebots website. If you look at the data for the 18V motor, it maps pretty well to the FRC motor curve when run at 12V instead of 18V. I have to believe the FRC motor curve since we based our design on that. We won't know until we get our gearboxes, maybe next week.
