Re: Why Hasn't first gone Brushless?

The cost-based argument against brushless motors is quite compelling, but how about the possibility of a single brushless motor (and appropriate control devices). Might there be some brushless motor that would fill a nice niche for FIRST robots; perhaps higher torque applications without needing as much gearing?
