Gosh, I hope we never have 775's as the main motors in a DT. It isn't a power thing it is a thermal mass thing. The CIM weighs in at a beefy 2.5 pounds and that heat dissipates through most of the motor. This makes it pretty hard to cook a CIM. Compare this to a 775 which is a pretty small motor with a ton of power. If we stall those out (a real possibility) they will cook much faster than a CIM.
Cordless drills, DOHT! Stupid Andrew, you have like 6 of those old Bosch transmissions sitting in the back room. Even pulled 4 of em off old bots. I'm gonna go bang my head on a wall in embarrassment of my mental failing.
For any coaches weary of choosing human players this year because you're worried they might lose their cool mid-game, a good indicator of someones ability to keep focused is their attitude while playing video games. - BradMello [more]
