If you interfere with the act of the opposing alliance balancing their bridge, you get a Red Card and their bridge counts as balanced. (G25)
3000 watts, but that's combined. You can't mismatch motors and think there will not be binding (for arm robots) or miss matched speeds and spin up times (pitching machine). Also that battery would drain so fast! lol

I would go for the consistency and simplicity and reliability and easy repairs that one arm offers whether it be any type.
