Re: Motors - another concept for FRC

I wouldn't be totally opposed to opening up motor selection if it included some restrictions: specifically a limit to the retail cost of a motor (preferably around $30, a little more than a CIM). I would hate to see teams with fewer resources outclassed because a team could buy a $200 motor.

That being said, I really enjoy allocating motors every year. I find its a great challenge for both myself and my students. I suppose this part of the challenge is rather unique, and in turn makes FIRST a more unique experience.
