Re: Dubstep motor shears

I'm not all that surprised; the PG188 can deliver enough torque to lift a robot if you aren't particularly chuffed about speed; I considered using it for coefficient of friction tests for this reason. How many M4 bolts were in place when it sheared? Do you have logs showing how much current the PG188 was drawing when it sheared those bolts?
