Motor Cover Template: Used to decorate your goBilda yellowjackets to be more aesthetically pleasing and align with team color theme.
Instructions: Download the Powerpoint template and customize the background color, text (color, font, size, etc), and logo to match your team's color scheme. (Consider just changing one and then copying it to make the rest.) Don't forget to also change label that describes the rpm and gear ratio to match each of the motors you are trying to label.
Once you're done customizing, print without fitting scale at full size and then use tape or sticker paper to attach around motors on top of the normal yellow stickers.
