REV motors
The two REV motors we use are apart of the REV ION Brushless package.
NEO
NEOs are compact and lightweight brushless motors.
NEO Vortex
A NEO Vortex (Vortex for short) is essentially an upgraded version of a regular NEO, designed for high-power applications.
NEO Vortexes are typically controlled using a SparkFlex motor controller. SparkFlexes are mounted directly onto Vortexes; they contain most of the key features found in SparkMaxes along with a few additions. 8726 does not use SparkFlexes, however. Instead, a special Solo Adapter has been mounted in place for Sparkmaxes to connect to.
