Re: Whats wrong with the FTC KoP

1350 has had no issues with Tetrix motors themselves so far. For the 2009-2010 FTC game we had 2 of them geared to ridiculously high speeds (to launch balls into the off field goals), and the gearhead failed on one, while the motor survived. The second one survived in its entirety. Tetrix motors can be sensitive to gearing, an intermittent load such as a ball shooter can be geared fairly high. However, for a drive mechanism, gearing up should be kept to a minimum and the load should be minimized (at 1:1 or lower gearing, on a horizontal surface, load doesn't matter quite as much). That being said, the tetrix motor can be impressive if they like the conditions in which they are operated.
