[FTC]: Tetrix DC Motor improvements?

Thank you! I look forward to seeing what you find.

On a related note, it would be very interesting to see motor curve data for Matrix motors. Whether those motors are more powerful than Tetrix motors is a burning question that has been on my mind every time I buy any Tetrix parts.

A comparison would be helpful but just so that readers of this thread are aware, Matrix motors are a 9 VDC system and have integrated encoders. This means one must choose to use either the Matrix motor/servo controller and battery or the Tetrix system and battery.
