FIRST gives spec sheets on all the motors. check you "big book" otherwise, do you have a specific motor your looking for. another way that you could try, but talk to your electrical guys first, make a cam and put it on the output shaft. then hook up, say a limit switch as a counter... that will tell you the rpm's in a round about way... rich


: Does anybody know if it's possible to measure the velocity of the robot or the rpm's of the motors with any of the parts given by FIRST. Or is there any other way to do this.

: Thank you.
