Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short

The 775 was rock solid on our arm last year, we must have been lucky because we did test our motors a week ago off of our 2011 bot and they had case shorts, but we were not stopped in inspection and it didn't cause any electrical ghosts on our bot. If this one small problem was fixed, I would feel alot more confident because they really are good sized, powerful motors, and with the CIM-ulator, not a bad substitute for a CIM. But about half of the ten we ordered are case shorted, or the shafts are stiff. We still plan on using them though, we'll just have to try and isolate the mounting plates and bring a bunch of spares. And I'll know what to replace first if stuff starts to short or reboot.
