So how is team 1072 making sure that the motor doesn't stall? I suppose you have to have the torque from the arm when the arm is in the position you want, transferred to some other mechanism. With our arm design, and the way that team 833 has played FIRST in the past, I know that our arm will need to be up in the air many many times, for long periods of time.

So if you do a gear reduction from the motor to your arms pivot point this will reduce the strain on the motor at stall? is 7:1 enough? Also, if you put a heatsink on the motor along with a muffin fan, can you make up for the problem of heat enough that there shouldn't be a problem or are there other issues than the heat?

What is the reason that this is not an issue for the other motors provided?
