I expect the Andymark engineers will be publishing their own test results soon. We should all suspend judgement about the NeveRest 60 for a while -- AM data will go a long way toward building my understanding of its real capability, and of course a season of in-situ performance will go even further.

All that said, there is data already available on the AM site. And that data supports what Billfred said above.

I worked with these motors all through my time in FTC. They can stall for more than a minute with no sweat. These motors seem weak until you take a look at all the simple mechanisms people use in FTC to great effect.
