: Also, in addition to my last post, would we be able to
: use last year's motors on this year's robot if we do
: not exceed the maximum amount of motors allowed?

: Thanks to all,

: Chris, #3

We typically use last year's motors for prototyping testing, and practice. Then when we get the robot working the way we want, we swap them for this year's motors. That way we enter competition with "fresh" motors. Also if we fry a motor because of poor design/fab we burn a "spare" not a good motor.
