I joined FIRST after the Globe motors; I had just assumed that they were 550 motors. Probably doesn't matter as what I've seen says that they aren't strong enough for my uses but their gearbox might be.

No need to use COTS; yes I'm looking for off the shelf stuff to modify but its an off season task for the team so we can use pulled stuff from junkyards, surplus stuff or whatever.
