It's only 4 pounds. Trust me, there's better ways to lose it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the Fp motors the highest wattage motors we get? At least historically its been that way, however I do agree, cims are served better as drivetrain motors as they can take quite a bit of abuse and the fps have a tendency to produce the sweet aroma of magic smoke.
This is a great looking bot, I imagine you have to bring the arm back before raising it in order to stay within the 80"'s which is fine, a lot of teams are doing that including us.
This looks like a quality robot from a quality team hope we get to see some vids soon.
