Are you sure the model is 6" Colsons? They look a lot more like WCP Pneumatics to me.

On that note, how hard is it to remove the existing hubs from the Colsons before inserting the VexPro hubs? I've never tried it myself but I imagine it's not easy otherwise they would come out on their own.


Also, what kind of current-limitations did you implement? Current-limiting can be as simple as basic input ramping to complicated current feedback loops (or probably even more complicated things that I don't know about). I have yet to see a good engineering analysis of the differences between the methods (i.e. whether it's worth it to put in a lot of time and effort for complicated current-limiting software over the basic stuff).
