Re: Were we ever limited on the amounts of non-CIM motor

Andre,
Do not limit yourself to designing a drive system for next year by using this year's KOP. The motor list changes every year. A continuous rotation crab drive module will require slip rings if you plan on using motors in the modules or "on wheel" speed or distance sensors. Slip rings are illegal this year but may be legal next year. Globe motors were great for steering in the past but are not available/legal this year.
