Re: Banebots RS-775 Case Short

We got our 4 Banebots 775's in last night and 3 out of the 4 have issues.

One motor had about 2M ohms of resistance between the terminals and the case. After running the motor for a about 5 minutes the motor must have cleared whatever debris was causing the reading.

The second motor read 13 ohms between the terminals and the case. We started by "zapping" the debris as was recommended last season to clear case shorts. After zapping the motors we had a 1M ohm resistance between the terminals and the case. We are still working with this motor to clear the debris causing the resistance.

The third motor was the best of them all. It had no case short and the resistance between terminals was good, but only one minor problem...the shaft doesn't spin at all. The motor is completely locked up.

I have a call into Banebots and will post their response to our issues.

I just hope other teams are having better luck with these motors then we are. The 775s are a nice motor when they are working properly.
