Show me where else you can get these motors and decent planetary gearboxes for them at the same price. If you want great support behind the products, would you also want to pay double the price for them, so they could hire more people to support them? I'm sure they probably are not a large company. Yes, they've had long lead times and a few issues, but give them a break. We could be using Bosch drill transmissions... You know back around 2002, there was no BaneBots, there was no AndyMark, there were no CIM motors with a nice keyed shaft, and we were restricted to purchasing parts only from one very overpriced supplier. Teams still made great robots.

Yes, the BaneBots products have a few flaws. But, it's up to the designer to consider those shortfalls, and design around them. For the price, their products are great. I was quite happy to see the BaneBots motors (especially the 775) in the KOP this year, and I hope they are here to stay.
