Re: Fixing Burnt Motors

I heard that at the Boilermaker Regional they were openly removing the choke in the mini bot motor. There was even a guy who was doing it for anyone who brought a motor to him. He said that it did not improve the motor performance and therefore was perfectly legal to take it out and replace it with a piece of wire.

Has anyone heard anything more on this subject? Although our sampling is very small, we have seen a significant improvement with the choke shunted out.
