OK, we've finally got the go-ahead to use recycled automotive motors. As per [R48] They can be "up to 2 window lift, seat, windshield wiper or door motors obtained through either the FIRST-Automotive Recyclers Association partnership or from a prior years’ KOP."

This is a excellent opportunity to get a better motor for that power shooter, etc.

How do we determine what are good (low weight vs high power) candidates for this or any other robot application?

Other than trial and error, I'm not sure where to start. Little or no specifications are typically listed in car manuals or even on the motor itself.

Anyone have any experience or connections to figure this out a bit more scientifically???
