Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short

Putting the 775's aside (as we are this year) you can still use:
4-550s
4 AndyMark Motors
2 FP (from a selection of 4, many of which teams have spares from prior years)
4 Cims
4 Windows
+ vex & Densos
1 Compressor

No team should have trouble finding enough (reliable) power for their drivetrain & mechanisms from the above selection.
