Re: Globe Motor Durability Versus RS-545

We've never been able to find an application for the Globe motor, with our limited machining ability. Now that AndyMark sells shaft adapters, its more likely we could use it sometime...

We have used the Banebots motors, and as long as you don't put them where they can be stalled, and don't work them too hard, they do fine. We have two on the robot this year and they haven't cause any problems. One turns a small roller that slips if a ball gets stuck on it, the other turns the turret with a V belt, which slips when the turret hits the mechanical stop.

Sounds like the OP is looking to use the motors where they might be iffy, so Globe should be the way to go, assuming the transmission can be modified appropriately.
