Re: Shooting Motors and wheels

775 pro motors are excellent motors for shooters. One very important thing about them is they need to be spinning for the fans to cool them. If they stall, they will fry in ~4 seconds according to Vex. They are high speed and high power, but keep them spinning! Even if you stall them for two or three seconds it may result in the motors having reduced power output or speed permanently. My team had some problems with our shooter shooting low last year and we found that our motors were partially damaged.
