Our drill motors worked good. We didn't have to change them after competing in a whole regional. They probably would have been fine if we went to nats too.
We did need to make a keyway in the shaft though, because otherwise, our little set screws didn't do squat. Our gears on our axles that drove the chains we used kept slipping. But once we made a keyway in our shaft, it was fine.
I was happy with the new drill motors since we were pretty much a rookie team. We only had like 3 people on the team that competed last year, and their robot last year didn't work.
New motors do level the playing field, and I am glad FIRST introduced these motors.
