What is your favorite motor....

[lukevanoort]

For me, it's a tossup, CIM or FP. The chips have lots of power, are robust, and just generally a pleasure to work with. However, the power-to-weight ratio on that FP is absolutely astounding, and that plastic gearbox provides quite a bit of reduction without weighing much. So, similar to many others, I like CIMs for drive systems, and FPs for everything else.

Wow... I never know there were so many FP motor lovers out there.

FP all the way - so easy to interface with.

Small CIM of course for drivetrains, but I also love the van door motor....i'm very sad that we don't get it this year.

Who else thought when you first saw the van door motor that it was named for a European inventor named van Door? It's a running gag on my team because we all thought that. We call him Piotr van Door and he lives on in spirit, even if not in the KoP.
