Re: Motors/Gearboxes required to move a 20 kg/44 lb robot

The VersaPlanetary shaft does not need to be supported if you stay within the load limits described in this document: http://content.vexrobotics.com/vexpr...s_20130107.pdf

Additionally, there are vent holes in the motor mounting plate specifically designed for the BB RS-775 motor.
