FP ok to stall?

This isn't ideal but it'll work for this weekend. Later, we will be building a new gear box for it that will have "too much" torque

"too much" being a theoretical threshold that is never truly reached

You may change your mind after this weekend. It seemed entirely too easy last weekend to accidentally eat balls, especially when maneuvering near the bumps. If you go with a theoretically unstallable gearbox, it might increase your tendency to eat balls. I think it's something to test before you permanently install it on your bot.
