PSA: Banebots as replacement for FP motor

Being worried about breaking our FPs early with no spares, I looked into the motors that came with our 64:1 gearboxes some more. The same 550 that came in the kit. They are not an exact match, but are very similar to the FP in terms of performance.

For now, we will run our arm with two 550s and swap for FPs later.

So, at a regional and need to replace a burned out FP? A 550 will do the trick. you could even run a 550 paired with a FP (not the best match, but it will do) in a pinch to replace a dual FP setup.

With the lack of FP spares readily available, this could save a lot of teams in a pinch. I know I'll make 973 bring all our 550 (we have 5-6) motors to our regionals for teams to use.
