Re: FP ok to stall?
We ran the roller last night at 30% and it performed beautifully. As soon as the ball touched the roller, it got pulled in and the motor stalled. We were able to drive forward and reverse at 20% speed keeping the ball with us. The FP thermal never tripped.
This isn't ideal but it'll work for this weekend. Later, we will be building a new gear box for it that will have "too much" torque

"too much" being a theoretical threshold that is never truly reached
