OUR CNC machine is named Joe, and he has this week of school off. He eats candy instead of electricity. Not so accurate or repeatable, but very easy to re-program. - Not2B [more]

Re: pic: burnt up TETRIX motor

Thanks for the info. I would advise all teams not to continuously run these motors, at speed, when at the top of the pole. They will burn out. It might be wise to design a cutoff for your minibot when it hit the top. This bit of forethought will save many teams 30 - 60 bucks.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
