Also, even with no defense I would not recommend using 775's on drive. Even though they are not going to be stalled pushing, it still takes alot of torque to accelerate a robot. During acceleration, it is sitting at a higher current load generating more heat. Especially if you have a robot that weighs close to 200 lbs loaded. With high traction wheels and a heavy robot, I think it would burn out even trying to accelerate, unless you also had CIMs on the same gearbox to help with the acceleration.
That's a good point, robots this year will be moving around a lot of weight. We might test this on our demonstration/drivebase test robot.
