CIM Motor Sacrifice

[Aur0r4]

Careful.... The RS-775 is rated at 18v. At 12v, it is less powerful than the RS-550, making the RS-550 the highest power output available after a CIM to FIRST teams. We chose it last year to raise our boom (at significant mechanical disadvantage) and it really packs a wallop.

Also, remember the FP motors have integral worm gears that can't be legally removed. So while the FP motor specs are pretty good, the worm drive makes it unsuitable for anything other than low-speed, torquey applications.
