Don't get all excited just yet. A soft bristled paintbrush is excellent for dusting off electrical components. They don't want folks using canned air, because that just makes a mess when dust and assorted crud starts flying everywhere!

Re: 2005 Manual

A quick Google search found the Mabuchi Motors website.

Further investigation shows that they appear to make motors that can be used in cordless drills. I found two 12V motors, but how they compare to the old drill motors I have no idea since I was not involved with the drivetrain.

They also make other motors, which you can look at by browsing around their website.

Re: 2005 Manual

I believe that Mabuchi will be supplying an alternative to the Bosch Drill motors. The people I talked with when I bought some of the old Bosch drill motors told me FIRST was having a third party company make them a replacement for the Bosch drill motor. I suspect that these Mabuchi motors are what he was talking about.

Re: 2005 Manual

Id like to commend FIRST for including the option for regional woodie flowers award winners last year to be considered for finalists again this year at the national championships. It is also very considerate to allow teams to also nominate a new mentor!

Re: 2005 Manual

If anyone looked at the 2005 Advance Material List, it asks for 1 Shallow Pot Magnet. Hmmm interesting.
