Motors this season

[JVN]

No one knows the contents of the kit of parts.
Many speculate, but these are just guesses.
We'll find out for sure at kickoff.

Most teams who do pre-season design, simply use the "historical" FIRST motors from previous years. There is a high probability we will have a drill, chiaphua, and FP motor in the kit this year... simply because we had them last year.

If you look here, you will see a new product from AndyMark, Inc which takes a Drill or FP motor, and converts it into the speed of a Chiaphua motor. Because of this, many teams (ours included) are simply designing transmissions with all chiaphua motors, and planning on using AndyMark Planetary adapters to use whichever motors seem convenient next season.

If the kit doesn't include ANY of these motors, then it's back to the drawing board.

We believe that pre-season design is beneficial to our team, even if NONE of our designs are useable.
It gives everyone some practice.
