congrats man
Ah yes, the buy up all the Falcon motors begins again. Guess itâs a good primer for the toilet paper runs.
Proud of you guys.
I remember driving for hours around the SF bay area and paying a markup to buy our 5th and 6th Falcons from another team last season. I donât know what the ideal solution looks like but Iâd like it to be easier for teams that canât take on big upfront costs to get their hands on these motors.
Are these some PS5 scalping tactics?
Agreed. We split what few we had between two mechanisms on both robots, but ended up breaking one motor during the necessary loctite fix and were short one.
Probably a good thing the first two âseasonsâ of this motor arenât your typical years.
Roughly the same time as ThunderHex
Fantastic! As I was reading, I was thinking, âgee, I hope you can order the hardware to upgrade the older Falcons withââ and then I got there and audibly but softly "woot"ed, drawing funny looks from my AP Physics 1 class.
Aww, no volume discount?
Nope, FRC Costco doesnât carry them : (
Credit card got rejected, so I guess weâll have to wait on TheThriftyFalcon.
Thatâs called a mini cim
Wishing for a Falcon 550
Seconding this wish.
Shoots the Falconâs marketing team in the foot, as itâs no longer the only motor youâll ever need.
Isnât marketingâs job to make you desire more than you really need?
Well, they did say they have more products still to release. We can dream, we can dreamâŚ
