Out with the old -- in with the new

Since I first started doing FIRST the motors have gone from:

1996:
2 Milwaukee drills
4 Delco seat motors

1997:
2 Skil Drills
4 ITTA seat motors (ITTA bought Delco Products)
2 ITTA window motors

1998:
2 Bosch Drills
2 Globe motors 2 Bosch power sliding door motors
2 Keyang seat motors
(Keyang makes a less expensive bolt in replacement of ITTA seat motor)
2 ITTA window motors

1999:
2 Bosch Drills
2 Fisher Price motors/gearboxes
1 Taigene power sliding door motors
(Taigene makes a less expensive bolt in replacement of the Bosch power sliding door motor)
1 Bosch power sliding door motors
2 Globe motors
2 Keyang seat motors
2 Valeo window motors
(Valeo bought ITTA)


2000:
2 Bosch Drills
2 Fisher Price motors/gearboxes
2 Taigene power sliding door motors
2 Globe motors
2 Keyang seat motors
2 Valeo window motors


2001:
2 Bosch Drills
2 Fisher Price motors/gearboxes
2 Bosch power sliding door motors
(Bosch was convinced to donate the motors)
2 Globe motors
2 Keyang seat motors
2 Valeo window motors
1 "Torque Motor" (hardly worth the bother)

2002:
Much that is the same
Much that is new

As you can see there have been a lot of changes to the motors in the kit in the last 6 years. There will surely be changes in the future.

Can't wait for the kit and game to be unveiled.

P.S. I may have had one or two details messed up above. Memories get all confused as time marches on and there is so much to keep straight in my head. With the exception of the Torque Motor, I have personally played a role in every motor in the kit by either begging my management to buy the motors for FIRST or by begging and pleading with the motor suppliers to eventually convince them to (fully or partially) donate the motors to FIRST. By the way, much of FIRST works this way. There are many many folks working behind the scenes making sure that FIRST is successful. Think of these folks when you stand and clap at the end of a FIRST competition.
