"Part of the fun of this competition is taking motors designed to lift RV's and open van doors and make them lift tetras and move robots. I love the 'do what you can with what you've got' mentality that FIRST forces us think with." - Andy A.

I agree, That is what makes this more challenging, and more exciting. I too enjoy the "Macgyver" aspect of FIRST. I can tell you like the FP's, I think of the FP's as the party motor, they are kinda like mini smoke generators. I'll admit, they are light, and depending on what your asking of thoose motors, they may burn out if you stall them for just a short while. Those CIM's on the other hand are very robust, and it takes a lot of abuse to kill them.
