Great job all, on the brushes Glad you could fix the DQ machine AL. I love DQ its the best, been going to them a LOOOOOOng time. Good luck to all of the great teams in first for 2012. I have been in FIRST since 96 from back in the day, and lucky to still have my little fingers still in it, all of the students and older people learn so much from this program....... MOE

they look almost exactly like the brushes from a wood router I took apart for a school project. I would look for a similarly sized universal motor, they are commonly used for hand-held or lightweight/portable power tools, like miter saws, reciprocating saws (sawzalls), drills, etc.

larger, stationary power tools, and a few portable ones, use brushless induction motors, which produce more torque at lower speeds, but are heavier, larger, and more expensive.
