Re: Can we use globe motors this year?

Just to be pedantic - the Globes were replaced with Window motors. When the Globes left the 2010 kit, we got 4 Window motors.

Personally I would be fine with the BB motor combination, if there was another supplier for the motors than Banebots. We got one of each in the kit but no one's going to use 1 BB motor. Everyone's going to use the 775s or 550s depending on application, with the others used sparingly. I would have liked 2 RS-775s and 2 RS-550s out of the box.

Rather than demand free / KOP transmissions for these motors I'd be content asking that they come with a pinion from now on so that you don't need a press to use the motor with a custom gearbox (i.e. to ream / install a COTS pinion)
