I don't have the stats with me (althought our team did compute them) but from our FIRST aid program I can tell you that the Fisher Price motors are the most likely to blow up out of them all. I am pretty sure that the FP gearbox is made up of plastic so we saw a lot of stripped gears. To get around this some teams added their own metal gears. The FP motors will also get very hot if a lot of torque is applied. Hope this helps.

: I am in need of the stats for the Fischer Price Motors from last year. (torque curves, speed curves, etc.). Where could i find this info. Also my team had heard of a few problems with stripped gears and stuff in the gearbox that came with the FP Motors, has anyone had this problem? If so what was it? Thanx,
