What is your favorite motor....

[RyanN]

1. Small CIM Motor
2. Van Door Motor
3. Globe Motor
4. Window Motor
5. Mabuchi/Banebots
6. Fisher Price Motor

I placed the Fisher Price motor very last for a very obvious reason, they burn out very very easily. The Mabuchi/Banebots is at 5 because of the Banebots part... The banebots transmission on our arm is getting a lot of slack, and I'm afraid that it's starting to bow. I would place the window motor higher up if they had not changed them from the '05 window motors. The new one's seem so cheap. I like the globe motor a lot... Quiet, strong, durable... it's one of FIRST's old great motors that has been around for a long time. I like and miss the van door motor a lot... strong durable and such an easy motor to adapt to a design, only drawback is that it's not worm gear driven (or at least it doesn't act this way). Now my favorite, the CIM motor. The powerhouse of FIRST robotics is the CIM motor. This motor is used in almost every drive train I've seen. These motors are strong and durable. We've been using them for the past 3 years without any of them burning out and they always have enough torque for our applications.
