We are using a 9015 Fisher Price motor, the
spec sheet says it's not as powerful as this year's motor, but it's about the same as the AM 0912 motor that came in the kit. We have it connected to a custom gearbox from a previous robot, which uses FP gears to give us 3:5 reduction, then we have another 9:22 reduction from a chain/sprocket set.
We intend to make the departure angle adjustable, possibly similar to what 1717 did with their hood in 2009, although I think they used a small 385 series Banebots motor.
