Re: Motors: Past and Future

My "dream" lineup for motors, current and past:

--CIMs (and variants--big, mini, bag), any combination but no more than 6 (Awright, quit complainin', 7).
--775s, 550s and the old FP motors (which were very similar), no more than 2 (maybe 4).
--Up to two Globe motors (need to specify allowed configurations, but those were very nice motors for light duty that was tough).
--Window and van door motors, no more than 4 total. For the right applications...
--Unlimited servos and VEX motors/servos (increase power on servos, though!)

--Additions: 2x brushless motors with speed controllers (restricted power/size, though, at least at first). The big thing here is that brushless motors are also known for not liking stalling, which would probably need to be pointed out to the teams.
