Removing Warp 9 motor for repair
Wouldn't you know it, our MR2 motor has developed a very rare problem. The balancing putty has broken off the armature and in turn has created a bad vibration within the motor. Supposedly, this only happens if the motor has turned over 9000 RPM's. Not likely this has happened, but nonetheless, NetGain is repairing the motor for free. This week, we removed the motor in the MR2 and shipped it off to Warfield Electric for repair. Of course, we have a competition November 3rd, so hopefully we will have the motor back in time to install before then.
