Re: What is your favorite motor....
If the question is drive, the answer is small CIM. A keen eye may note two large CIMs on our drivetrain this year. That's only because we're using one small CIM on the arm, since the BaneBots setup was far easier to work with than trying to figure out how to interface with the large CIM. If we were to switch out the arm CIM for some other motors for whatever reason, I'd definitely make the switch back as time allowed.
For arms, I much enjoyed the van door motor (it was on both of 1293's lifts during my tenure), and have been quite satisfied with the Denso motor thus far on 1618's arm (those black hubs are lovely). Looking at 1902's method of adapting the Globe motor down at UCF, however, has made me realize that perhaps I haven't given it a fair shake.
