An update on our testing this Fall.

The dual motor works well. We made a thicker spacer to hold the last ring gear as the torque out of the two motors was causing the clutch to trip when set to drill. The palstic gears on the Bosch are holding up well. We tore a brush out of one of the Boschs when the clamp collar was not full tightened and the unit spun. No problems with the motor mount to the gearbox. We also smoked a FP motor, it was an abused one from this past season and running at slow speed while turning the robot hastened its demise.

The Dewalt is flawless, it stays in gear and can take serious reversing loads. This was how we found out about the clutch slipping and requiring the thicker spacer.

I cannot wait to see what we get for motors this year!
