Re: RIP Banebot RS550
I'll be missing the RS550s quite a lot... they had plenty of power at a low weight. Our team has used them quite generously (this year's robot with only 6 motors, all CIMs, being an exception).
Our ideal use for them was on our 2013 FCS. 2 RS550s in a CIM-u-LATOR had all the power and torque we wanted, at a very low weight (less than a MiniCIM)... it was fabulous.
