Re: Banebot Motor Spec Discrepencies

The data on our web site is for the motor at 18V, it nominal Voltage
The data on the green sheet is for the motor at 12V, what FIRST will use it at
We opted to donate the more powerful 18V motor because we believed it would be more useful to FIRST teams than the 12V model. The 18V motor will operate fine at 12V with reduced performance as given on the green sheet.
The label on the motor is correct, all FIRST legal motors supplied by BaneBots will have an appropriate orange label to ease inspection and reduce confusion.
Our less powerful 12V RS-775 (M7-RS775-12) IS NOT FIRST LEGAL to the best of our knowledge.

Thanks for the quick and helpful response. Just for your reference, here's the spec sheet from FIRST with the incorrect information.
