Re: paper: FRC148 - 2011 Robot Assembly - "Raptor"

I received a question via email...
The model includes (5) CIM motors. The arm motor was actually a Banebot 775 motor run through an AndyMark planetary gearbox.

Brief Aside:
We were lucky that of the (18x) 775s we purchased we had a handful that were good. These motors never gave us any problems. The ones that came with manufacturing defects were NEVER good...
