Re: What is this thing?

As one of the Bosch associates involved in getting the Bosch linear seat motor into the FIRST Choice program for last year, I can testify that the datasheet linked by MoistRobot is in fact the correct one for this motor.

Related links:If you're thinking of using that exact motor on an FRC robot this year, however, you're out of luck; motor legality within FIRST is based on widespread availability (as defined by "lots of them being donated for inclusion in the KOP and/or FIRST Choice"), and we were unable to get enough of them out of our factory to be able to bring them back this year.
EDIT: I stand corrected! If you can get your hands on them, go for it.


For this year, we are currently offering a rotary-output worm drive seat motor that was available in much larger quantities. The 2016 Bosch motor has a normal rotational output instead of the linear output of last year's Bosch motor, but we can bring it back next year as long as our post-season survey shows that teams got good use out of it.
