Wait, really? That'll be a fun project for Thursday. I do remember the ones that came with our gearbox looking a tiny bit different, but just shrugged it off since they were both RS-550 motors, not realizing there was more than one kind. Argh.

And not really while making spare parts, but I expect to find writing autonomous code without the robot difficult come the first fix-it window that can be used for upgrade parts. Of course, having the robot but not having a field wasn't a whole lot better.
