Ok, I was looking at the spec pages for the FP and globe motors. I recall from past years, that these spec sheets have errors (it looks like they used the same file, and never fixed the errors)
First:
Stall torque for the FP motor is listed as:
0.380 N-m (mili-NEWTON meters)
What are they talking about? It must be N-m, not mN-m, because there would be no way you’d get 34.7 N-m with a 124:1 gearbox.
Second:
RPM for globe motor only: 97 RPM. Globe motor & gearbox, 87 RPM. Yet the torque goes from 30 oz-in to 150 in-lbs… something doesn’t compute… I’ll believe the other data that says that the motor-only gives around 11500 rpm.
Obviously, most people on this board already realize these errors, because a lot of this data is in the white papers (from other sources, not FIRST)
I guess I wanted to gripe, because not only do we get specs (finally) 2 WEEKS into the competition, but they’re also so obviously wrong.
Lesson to learn: always apply a “garbage” filter to any data you use, and ask the question “does this number make sense?”
