An Ode to Drill Motors...

Heres to Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch...you powered drive trains I'll always remember...the likes of Atlas and Hexcalibur, tank drives both. You pushed freshman around the cafe on team information night. You gave your all, stripped a few gears, and blew a few clutches. You powered many a team to Victor(y). So long old friends....

I know that they've pretty much been replaced by globe motors as the favorite for drive systems, but being so old school it is sad to see the drill motors go. They've been a staple of the FIRST kit of parts since, well probably not the begining but darn close I'd imagine. One more thing that I can bring out at a compention to get weird looks from rookies in a few years ;-)

Good luck to all teams this year...should be a fun game,

Justin
