The document discusses different types of electric motors used in robotics including continuous, brushless, servo, and stepper motors. Servo motors are typically brushless, have a feedback component, and use a closed loop system to maintain a constant torque. Stepper motors move in specific positions by increments and use an open loop system. The document also notes some common motors used in FRC robots are smaller motors with 5000 rpm and larger "bag" motors with 19000 rpm.

MOTORS
BY: JULIET CASPAR
Electric Motors ● Continuous motor BRUSHLESS SERVO ● Typically brushless ● Feedback component ● They have closed loop system ● Usually have a fairly constant torque throughout their range STEPPER ● Process is to go in specific position ● Goes by your chosen increments ● Open loop system MOTORS USED IN FRC ● Smaller motor (rpm = 5000) ● Bag motors (rpm = 19000)
