They didn't forget, JVN even leaked what they will be releasing.

• 3.25" Omni-Directional Wheel - Because let's be frank, small is the new cool

That 775 motor though!!

Battery In: 12V DC
Free Speed: 18,700 rpm (+/- 10%)
Maximum Power: 347 W
Stall Torque: 6.28 in-lbs (0.71 N-m)
Stall Current: 134A
Size: 1.744” (44.3 mm) diameter, 2.602” (66.10 mm) long
Weight: 0.8 lbs (actual weight one item, no packaging)

I'm guessing that VEX has more-or-less 'pre-approved' this with FIRST HQ... There'd be some serious public outcry if that motor weren't allowed!

I might be asking a but is it possible to put that number (and maybe min/max) somewhere on the page?

I also assume all of this is stored in the raw data section but I haven't gotten there yet.

That 775 has an awesome power output. All my worries are gone. The new best FRC motor is back. More powerful then a CIM is plain amazing

This is appears to be a much higher quality motor than the one banebots sourced as well.

Do you guys ever think you would be able to test the old 775, that way teams could easily compare it to the new 775pro?
