From what I could tell from our roller application, and the general feel of the motor, it is well suited to a drive train application where there are many stops, starts, and near stall points of operation. It's high mass allows it to handle more heat caused by stall than any of our other motors, and as such, will provide a very good life.

However, it also has a lower mass-power ratio, which is typically very important, but this issue is something that must be weighed by teams. Generally speaking, FIRST robots have far more power available than they can actually apply to the floor, so the small power reduction is not all that important.

Though we have not used them for drive train applications, with the exception of their weight, I would feel very confident using them on the drive train. It also frees up a more standard motor for other applications!
