Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short
I think in light of this continuing issue that FIRST needs to relax the 2011 build rules and allow the replacement of Banebot motors with legal FP motors and/or CIM motors.
It is not ethical or safe to have a faulty motor as one of the alternatives in the KOP. FIRST should relax the rules enough to allow for the removal of all Banebot motors from 2011 machines. Teams designed their robots based on the assumption that these parts met certain safety and performance standards. If this was industry, we would be experiencing a recall right now.
This is what would be right. Why should FIRST or FIRST teams expect anything less?
