What on earth did you do to those motors to get them so rusty?. I know ours have splotches of it, but that looks pretty extreme to me.

agreed. Now that you say that it looks like epoxy or something else painted on there.

Frank(Aflak)maybe tytus broke the little nub that stopped the motor from spinning around in the mount, so he just glued it in instead?
Maybe he was trying to sniff the epoxy and, after succeeding beyond his wildest imaginings, smeared it all over the motor for some reason . . . . ?
This is what you get for guessing games!

WakeZeroGuessing games are annoying. If you got something to share, please share it. Otherwise, don't waste valuable time

Adam Y.Yeah that is rust. For some odd reason the drill motors have a tendancy to just rust. It has happened with all four of our drill motors. Two of which are in a box and two of which are on the robot.

Frank(Aflak)thats wierd. . . ours are absolutely spotless, as far as I know, and saint louis isn't really known for its low-humidity summers, if you know what I'm saying . . Its not like its a swamp here, but it is still pretty hot and wet in the summer.
No rust, either. Actually, I haven't seen our motors since we put them is (the drills are underneath our control board, hard to access) so maybe they look like that.

ANDIE111001101Here in Indiana our drill motors are spotless they stain in a constantly AC-ed building though(at least the were last time I saw them 2 weeks ago). There still all shiney!

I'm really surprised by that! Even after the time that our robot spent sitting in a moldy/asbestos filled closet, our motors look better than that. That can't be your average wear and tear.

fox46We gave ours a nice coating of WD-40, and that stopped them from rusting- they look fine, even after our test period last year in our salty snowy parking lot.
