Its a pain because we have 4 or 5 of them collecting dust... Either way, they are a robust piece of kit (unless you drive them with 2 CIMs each at a huge hunk of Aluminium and smash straight into it repeatedly...  ). The P80s look okay and the GEM 500 does too if you can afford them.

They are a current COTS item, not custom made for FRC. Thus, <R32-B> does not apply.
