FIRST (accidentally?) didn't encrypt the part of the manual that lists what motors FIRST will have available at events, and drills of any kind were'nt in there
Just because they won't have spares doesn't mean we won't get any.

They liquidated their supply since the end of last year. It's a *really* good bet we won't get those 1/2" Drill Motors tomorrow. In fact, I'll bet you a 24-pack of coke (I don't do the Dew, it makes me go "ew" ) we won't get those drill motors. Any takers?

(I doubt there will be any takers)

I didn't mean the Bosch drill, we are not getting those, that is a fact. I just meant some drills, or other suitable replacements.

Why wouldn't FIRST stock spares then?

As far as I can remember, for the 4 competitions I've seen, FIRST has had spares for every motor in the kit

Re: Bosch Motors

Well, if that is the case then we are not getting a replacement. Or maybe there will be 4 CIMs. There is a Mabuchi motor listed. They make motors similar in size and spec to the Bosch Drill, but not gearboxes and I couldn't imagine FIRST doing that.

But something else that was kind of strange is that in section 7 of the manual all of the motors are written in the plural form except for the Fisher Price. Does this mean we are only getting one? Also, what is a Jideco Window motor? (have we had these in any previous years?) And also, I do not see a seat or Van door motor.

Perhaps this is the year of doing more with less?

Last years window motors were Nippon Denso, the previous years were Jideco.

The Van door motor is listed as the "Tiagen power sliding door motor"

Thanks. I must have missed the Van door just skimming through the list. I'm glad we still have it. As for the window motors, it is odd that we get two different kinds. Also, the window motors of 2003 and 2004 were the same so the Jideco ones you speak of must have been from 2002.

Re: Bosch Motors

Most, if not all of us now know what motors are available.

I just hope that one day FIRST get's in touch with NPC Robotics http://www.npcrobotics.com/

Yes, the do affiliate themselves with combat robots(not the issue, so don't start that war)

They have a wide variety of high quality parts that are strong and should handle about anything we could throw at them.

A few highlights-
http://www.npcrobotics.com/products/...at=19&mode=gfx

http://www.npcrobotics.com/products/...at=20&mode=gfx

Yes, a lot of their motors are designed for 24 volts(some even take 72v with some work- http://www.npcrobotics.com/products/...at=20&mode=gfx)

The gearbox/motor/wheel combo in the first product link seems fairly close to optimal for the direction the kits seem to be going.
