Hey, we could all use more of those beauties.

I really regret that we didn't get Globe to donate a flavor of motor with a PTC (i.e. a type of self resetting thermal fuse) inside.

I recommend to FIRST that they get a properly sized PTC and require that everyone put them inline with the Globe motors.

I know in our case, I would much rather have had to spend a little time cooling down the motors every once in a while than to be allowed to run them so hot that they fail.

We have blown a few because a mistake in our controller code was keeping them slightly on at all times. In a long practice they got way too hot to touch.

PTC's next year...
