On another topic

Efficiency isn't really a concern for these motors. You don't worry about running out of juice in a match, you worry about moving faster and pushing harder than other machines. You want more power out of your motors. I'll take getting .5 HP out at 60% efficiency over .45 HP out at 99%. The batteries are rechargeable!!

Just some thoughts,

Matt
you are contradicting yourself, in a way. If running out of juice in a match is a factor, than efficiency is important. But i havent seena ny problems with running low on batteries so yes, i'd agree, max power at a reasonable current is more important.
