Re: Non-FRC Motor Controller?

OK, so I don't even know how much current I expect the motors to draw. Mainly because I don't know what motors to use, either . I know that motors are (generally) much cheaper though, so I figured if I screwed that one up I could just buy more

I'm figuring around 6V for the motor, probably 0.5-1A current draw, but what do I know? If any of you have any input on that, let me know. Unless it needs to be 12V (the internet doesn't seem to have many 6V motors) in that case I'd probably go with the small banebots motors or similar.
