Re: Bosch Motors

I put my money on the CIM motor still being in the kit, someone paid some money to get us a custom output shaft and I think it will stay around for a little while. Smaller motors and less powerful robots will be BORING in my opinion, a fast pace is what keeps people out there interested. If everything moves to smaller AND less powerful motors it will be a step in the wrong direction from my view. Also the size of the motors in the KOP should have no difference between a rookie team and a veteran. A veteran team with resources will use whatever is in the kit to the max abilities.

I hope FIRST keeps it at least at the level it is currently at if not even more powerful.
