 Both might accomplish the same "function" or "results" (perhaps a lift of some kind), but there are clear differences in simplicity, in cost, in maintainability, extensibility, and several other "ilities" -- which are a staple of engineering evaluation criteria. - msd [more] |

Re: 2005 Manual
Let me set some things straight with regards to the Mabuchi motor. The Fisher-Price gear box uses either Mabuchi or Johnson Electric, depending on which gear box F.P. donates. FIRST contacted me last Fall to get my contact information for both companies. I have been using the same two individuals since 2001, one from Mabuchi and one from Johnson Electric to get the F.P. specs. I gave FIRST the information and called my contacts giving them a heads up. I am 95% confident FIRST will have the correct motor performance curves, because I assume they will call my contacts.
I guarantee that if FIRST calls my contacts, then they will get the same information that I normally get. Judging from the manual, it looks like it will be Mabuchi this year. -Paul
