Re: update 8 clarification, drill motor and blue wires
To clarify ShadowKnight's post regarding team 1123, we were going to have one of the electrical engineers on our team replace the wires to help dissipate heat to the motor (thinner wire=more resistance=more heat) Anyway, we had the wires off of one motor and then the update was issued. We then soldered the wires back onto the motor. Since FIRST did not issue this as a rule until now, we are just going to use the motor as is. We were well within the rules when we did this.
