Re: NeveRest 60 in FRC

Same speed and similar power to a window motor, with an encoder - yes, we've had an application most years where this would have done the trick. At least twice we've had parts which we needed to deploy outside of the frame perimeter at startup, but that were then held in place with a latch or gravity, and several internal feeders and game piece controllers for which this would be a great fit. At $28 or 20 FC points each, they're also a fairly inexpensive encoder, even if you don't use the motor. And hey, they already have power poles installed if you do!
