Re: Bosch vs. Dewalt

Well, FIRST used to give Bosch drill motors and gearboxes in the kit of robot parts. Perhaps it was just that particular model, but if you ask me, it was very poorly designed and quite prone to breakage (and not just because it was used in a robot application). Looking at the thing, I saw so many design issues that made me say "what were they thinking when they made it like this!?!"
