Sources for Globe Motor

[FRC111]

After contacting various local distributors for Globe Motors (found on the suggested www.globemotors.com website), we have found that we can not purchase the globe motor, part number 409A587, as it is a proprietary motor used exclusively by the automotive industry.

Is there a different source available for purchasing this motor? Is there an agreement between FIRST and Globe that we can reference in order to gain approval to purchase these motors?

Spare Globe motors are not available.

We have been unable to find sources to buy the Globe Motor supplied in the KOP. Can you please direct us to a supplier where we can purchase a FIRST legal Globe motor?

As best as we can tell, spare Globe Motors are not available directly from vendors. You may want to check with other teams to see if they have any from their kits that are not being used, and arrange an exchange of parts.
