Re: [FTC]: Tetrix V2 motor internals

Rookie team checking in:

We had some issues early in the year with failed gearboxes on the old motors. When we disassembled them we found a plastic gear that was stripping out.

We were excited to use the new motors because they are stronger. When one failed we took it apart and found that all the gears are metal. The failure on the new motor was due to one of the gear shafts popping out of alignment. We were able to fix the gear box and use the motor.

Overall our opinion of the new motors is very good when compared with the old motor. We have found them to be SIGNIFICANTLY more powerful and with an improved gearbox.
