Hi Guys,

Thanks for the information and advice. We are contacting FIRST about this issue today, hopefully we can get some replacement motors. I think this could be an issue for many other teams. If Ben is right and New England teams got the wrong parts, then I am very concerned about the Boston event. There are alot of rookie teams who do not have a presence on these boards who might be in for a rotten surprise on Thursday.

On the positive side, at the beginning of the season I had some kids take apart one of the FP gearboxes to learn a bit about ratios, and I *seem* to recall the pinion having 19 teeth. If that is the case then this is an easy swap.

The only question I have on this is what is the performance difference between the motors? I am not worried about power because our system is overpowered anyway, but max speed is a concern. If there is a big difference in max rpm then we will have to change out some of our sprockets as well.

Thanks for the help,
