Re: [FTC]: Motors

You don't need to use all four for 4wd. Depending on your design I'd say that'd be wasting motors. These have higher torque and also power so I'd be careful with what you decide as a design if I were you.

Good thing to do would be draw out a few different DT designs and find one that gives you more pushing power this year and not worry about speed so much.

Best of luck.
