And we're back! First post has been updated with some specific info, but check out the New for 2016 page for details.

Re Motors.Vex.Com What's the sample size?

Currently 8 motors were tested for that Data, will develop further over time.

I might be asking a but is it possible to put that number (and maybe min/max) somewhere on the page?

I also assume all of this is stored in the raw data section but I haven't gotten there yet.

Do you guys ever think you would be able to test the old 775, that way teams could easily compare it to the new 775pro?

Look at the page again

One stat I'd like to see on the motor page: how long can each motor run at stall before it burns out.

At 135W, and no mass to sink it, I bet the 775Pro burns in a second. (Unless you could rig a secondary cooling blower. Hmmmm)

Here, I did it really quickly for you.

Lol response overload I guess I'm just blind.

Totally. Teams are going to need to be really careful.

Could you make a totally non scientific video bashing the new plastic extrusion with a hammer? I'm a huge fan of plastics but convincing others will be difficult.

Neat stuff!

How are the tolerances on the polycarb tubing? We use extruded polycarb round tubes for underwater robots, and the dimensions are pretty consistently off of nominal.

Powerful little motors! For the locked rotor stall test, it looks like they'll cook if stalled in under 10ms? EDIT: oh, I can't read units on graphs. Looks like it cooked at about 3 seconds from the raw data you have

Any chance we could get measured RS-550 data too? It would be useful for translating prototypes or old robot mechanisms into equivalent current-season-legal designs...and also to satisfy my hunch that the RS-550 radically underperforms its specs
