I do not believe the OP was planning on using this on an FRC Robot.

However make sure that you look at the datasheet for any motor controller sheild that you plan on using and ensure that it has the ability to provide the necessary current, there are a lot of cheap motor controllers on the Open Source market, so you just have to be a smart consumer.

Here is the datasheet for the Tetrix motor to get motor specs: https://c10645061.ssl.cf2.rackcdn.co...motorspecs.pdf
