Thanks for the kind words. I had originally suggested that teams just be allowed to remove the inductor from Tetrix motors, if they were making repairs in order to eliminate the cost of replacing the motor. The GDC felt very generous and allowed teams to make repairs on all components. I have to thank them for that.
Fair enough -- we'll do that for our already-burned-out ones for continued testing, and keep the others as-is.
