48's competition robot arm is powered by a Banebots RS-550 motor mated to a Banebots 104:1 P60 planetary. We cap the max voltage to the arm at 40%-50%.
The arm design borrows from concepts used by 67 (2007 linkage) and promoted by 148 (passive surgical tubing resistance).
We have had zero trouble with P60's in any application since they came out in 2009.
