This motor seems like a good choice when you would like to use a hobby servo motor, but need much more power (and have a home position sensor). The biggest issue I see with this motor is that it can't support any load on the output. In FRC we love to abuse our motors and gearboxes by hanging way too much weight on them.

Do you know if these will be available from AndyMark after First Choice is over?

I do have a 3/8" rotary broach and may give that a try. I think it might take too much of the wall out though.

You definitely need to mount this to a completely supported shaft since that acts as the output and second support. If you use the motor to support the shaft then you will most likely have problems.

We decided to offer in limited amounts to get a feel if teams will use them. If there is enough demand then we may be able to consider another order. This is a high volume production motor so it's fairly easy to order more if needed.
