Updated manual to follow tomorrow. Burned out Tetrix motor inductors may be replaced, and parts may be repaired (keep the performance the same, though)--though teams are encouraged to use caution when doing to, and assume voided warranties.

It seems the GDC has come up short by allowing us to repair burned out components on the Tetrix motors. How many times can you bend those retaining tabs before they break off? How will they be able to determine if the replacement inductor/capacitor was the exact replacement? What they should've included, IMO, was to allow us to put
minifuses on the motor lead(s) to protect the motors. It is just poor safety and engineering practice not to have those motors properly protected. Sort of closing the barn door after the horse has gotten out. Anyone else out there agree?
