I highly recommend you find somebody who's already worked with FRC or robots in your area to help you; this would be an expensive mistake to make.

My best reference is someone who is young and doesnt really look at the dollar signs, this is just me getting another guide as well as to help me understand what I am doing rather than just taking advise and nodding blindly.

In terms of being able to handle the load though, would 775 pros motor and gearbox and SPARK motor controller theoretically work?
