Right-o. The first thing we did was test the resistance through the windings as we turned the output shaft very slowly, to see if there was a dead spot. The second thing we did was put them on and run them over and over again...

...then we played nine qualifying matches with them with no problems...

...then they exhibited the behavior we saw on our practice robot during autonomous in 2/3 of our quarterfinal games -- including our ability to fire the disks immediately in teleop after giving the robot a bump against the pyramid.

Bad timing, I guess. When we get to Buckeye we're replacing them with other motors, and shipping these ones (as well as the other bad ones) back to IFI for analysis.
