drawer / Sensors & Controls
A high-performance brushless motor (with integrated Talon FX electronics) controlled over CAN via Phoenix.
where you actually meet Kraken X60
The Kraken puts a strong brushless motor and Talon FX electronics in the same housing, so there is no separate controller to mount or wire — just power and CAN. Teams choose it for drivetrains and heavy mechanisms where the extra torque matters, and configure it in Phoenix Tuner, including the current limits that stop four of them browning out the robot.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
