I'll try to get someone to remove the BAG motor from its gearbox and send it to y'all, but this is going to be a crazy week for us, so it may not happen in a useful amount of time.
As I said, our buggy BAGs are on our competition robot, which we got permission to unbag for display purposes only at the Naples Youth Expo this past weekend... And while it wasn't "work" per se, we didn't get explicit permission to pull 'em, so we left 'em on. We'll send them to you (Paul, not Madison) post-Buckeye.
