CIMs, Weight, and Max Speed
Will a 2 CIM per side drive train have a reduction in maximum speed when going from a 60 pound load to a 120 pound load? I am hoping to program autonomous using just the drive train and the electrical board while the rest of the robot is being built, but the algorithms I am using are dependent on the maximum speed of the robot.

Re: CIMs, Weight, and Max Speed
I would expect a slight decrease in speed due to increased friction on carpet from the extra weight. This is assuming traction wheels. I would guess that Mecanum wheels would have a larger decrease in top speed.
However i would expect the biggest difference to be in acceleration. Dave |
Re: CIMs, Weight, and Max Speed
Yes, you will have noticeably different performance between 60lbs and 120lbs.

You can use the JVN Mechanical Design Calculator to calculate more accurate (not perfectly accurate, but very good) speeds for your robot.

Re: CIMs, Weight, and Max Speed
If we strap on some metal blocks in order to increase the weight of the drive train to 120 lbs, will the drive train act similarly, or will the location of the center of mass change things? Is there anything else wrong with this approach?
