Re: Globe Motor Durability Versus RS-545
In my experience, all the banebots motors do not do well once they are stalled (esp at high voltages). Our floorload roller is powered by a 545, and they smoke really quickly if there is a jam and if the motor keeps trying to pull balls in, causing it to stall. After destroying a good 3 or 4, we decided to use a FisherPrice motor on our practice robot, to save some money.
Globe motors, however, have always been very durable, in my experience with them. I am yet to destroy one, even damage one. However, I do believe that they are not quite as powerful as the 545s.
