Stall them for more than 3 seconds, and they're no longer motors. Run them for more than 90 seconds at peak power, and they're no longer motors.

See actual test results here: http://motors.vex.com/775pro

I see you haven't seen Bomb Squad's 2016 drivetrain. If i recall correctly they ran dual 775 pros per wheel.

Maybe someone from Bomb Squad would care to comment on their drive train from 2016. Did you run with all 775 pros, how many and did you burn any of them out?

But as far as drive trains go, Bomb Squad's are about 12 years experience more advanced than the majority of teams, and I'm consistently amazed at their level of performance on the field.


I'll modify my original statement:
Without CAREFUL consideration, using a 775pro in your drivetrain is VERY LIKELY to overheat and become a fancy paperweight. I STRONGLY urge you to stick with cims and mini cims.

We just had one per wheel. Committing 10 motors (4 drive, 4 steer, 2 tank) to the drive train is a lot to begin with. We would have been ALL drive train if we went for 2 775s per wheel.

We lost a few (<5 between practice and competition robots according to my memory). We theorize it had more to do with the impact from the defenses than stalling. The brush holders were breaking rather than melting/disintegrating. Just a theory, though.

And thanks for the kind words. We sure like our swerves here in Mountain Home.
