Re: BaneBots

We ordered and used 2 RS 775s without issue, luckily, after testing them negative for the notorious case shorts. They ran very nicely on our strafe wheel, not even getting warm. We actually had more issues with our FP, but that was because we sort of abused the leads when soldering to them.

We (and 3130) did, however, have bad experiences with Banebots' shipping delays. If we hadn't had the ability to run two CIMs on the strafe wheel before the shipment came, we wouldn't have driven really at all until week 6. And the options for powering our elevator were severely limited by the fact that we had to wait 3 weeks (or more!) to get anything. We ended going with a P60 from last year's robot and an FP.
