FTC motor specs

I am trying to find specs on the new ftc motors to be used in the minibots but cannot find the motor curves or and additional specs anywhere. Do they just not exist or am i looking in the wrong place?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: FTC motor specs

Got anything on the weight?

Also, does the motor have current limiting or shut off components like PTC's.
If we don't shut down the motor at the top.... are we going to burn it up in a couple of minutes?

Can we run the motor at peak power without significant losses due to heating?

Re: FTC motor specs

There's some good discussion in other threads on this subject.

Travis provided some weights here, for example.

Searching is fun.
