Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short

Wow. Even after last years feedback, the manufacturer has still not solved the problem. Worst still they apparently are not even doing simple QA tests on them before shipping. We (or Banebots) need a new motor supplier. I have 6 of these on order and I can't see how I can risk using them.
As Banebots has pointed out, they do run tests on their motors before shipping them out and advise any teams who receive bad motors to contact them asap. It's my opinion that motor defects upon receipt are the result of poor packaging (the shipment of 775s we received yesterday had pieces of broken Styrofoam, which I assume was there hold the 775s stable during transit).

We received a shipment of 4 775s yesterday, none of which had case shorts and were fully functional.
