Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short
I really like the range of motor options FIRST made available this year. I think a possibility might be that FIRST provides the specifications the motors must meet - but leaves the choice of supplier up to the team. I think it reflects a more "real world" approach. Virtually any company in business for the long run develops a preferred provider list because they know they will get the quality/quantity/delivery time/cost from those vendors. If FIRST had specified any RS-775-18 with free speed XX, stall torque XX, peak power XX, etc. I could have ordered directly from Mabuchi or a number of other vendors. I could provide specification sheet from the vendor to verify the motors comply to the specification.
