Re: P27 Gearmotor

Yes, both the motor and the gearbox are symmetrical. I can't think of any motors or gearboxes in common FRC usage that have a systematic bias. If they did, it would require some interesting gearing to use them in a skid-steer drive. In the normal configurations, driving forward requires the motors on the opposite sides to spin in opposite directions.
