Dunno if this has already been posted (been on Xmas break), but the info on
the BEAM/WCRG Millennium Games is being worked on as I type (Kenny, the
web-boy is busy at the other machine...), and we'll hopefully have a bunch
of new content about the even (June 9,10,11) at http://www.robotgames.com
very shortly into the new year.
Regards,
Dave

Finally got to play with one of these not long ago - veeery nice motors!

As a rule, SMT offer similar specs EXCEPT in regard to max current
deliverable. Because they're smaller, they have a harder time dissipating
heat, therefore the decrease in ability.

Yup, that sounds about right! 8>
Seriously, your list is quite comprehensive in the items that are all hard.
They all factor into each other.
Sorry I can't be of more help in that regard!

We are soooo close to getting the final flyer done, it ain't funny. Expect
a PDF of the flyer on our website tomorrow (I'm hoping), and something on
the official site soon thereafter.
