Gearing and Drive Motors

After seeing my team's robot drive, I have begun to consider changing up the motors in out drive train. But, I want to see what the CD consensus is before I do so. What are you putting on your robot?

Andymark gearboxes aren't the only ones out there.

Maybe instead of having the gearbox name, have something like "2 CIM 15feet/sec." That is, unless you want to know what specific gearboxes people are using.

We're using 2 cims per side with independent middle wheels running mini cims in a tougbox mini.

I just figured that I would put these two gearboxes because the majority of robots that I have seen use these two gearboxes.

I doubt you will see many CIMple box robots this year. Even with 4" wheels, they are geared too fast (15+fps) for this game with ramps and obstacles and obstructions that give you few opportunities to drive more than 20 feet in a relatively straight line.

We're gearing our TB-minis all the way down to 12.75 on a 4" wheel, then farther down with chain to our 8" wheels. It's a top speed of only 5.6 fps, but we reach it practically instantly and eat most of the defenses for breakfast, and the others for lunch.

At that speed, you won't be eating very many.

We're using 2 CIMs per side in a gearbox based off 1114's 2014 Gearbox.

There is a Cafe Du Monde between our hotel and the Pontchartrain Center. Hopefully I can save one for you.
