Re: [FTC]: Motors

On the subject of motors, does anyone more specs on the motors? Specifically I'm looking for current draw specs -- Stall Current and Free Speed Current. Here's what I have so far:

Stall Torque = 300 oz-in = 2.12 N*m (slightly less than a CIM)
Free Speed = 152 RPM

This is all gravy for figuring out how fast a drive train goes, but not good enough to figure out if the motors will survive pushing match after pushing match. Then there's the question of how hard you're straining the motors by lifting the robot arm with some weight at the end of it. Anyone?
