Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

Last time I checked there were 4, but the robot may have added more by tommorrow... along with a laser weapon or two.

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

2 Cims
2 FP
van door
most likely will use both globes

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

Drive system - 2 drills, 2 chips, 2 FPs
WoD-m4 = 1 van door
Arm = 2 globes, one seat
Secret Weapon = two window motors

No servos

Total motors: 12

And yes, weight is an issue right now.

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

(2) Drills - Drivetrain
(1) Seat - Elevator
(1) Van Door - Vertical Elbow Pivot On Elevator
(1) Globe in FP Gearbox - "Pincher" on Arm

5 Motors total

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

2 Atwood drivetrain
2 drill winch
2 globes to control the bar grabber

and the compressor and a small cylinder for our bar grabber.

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

2 drills -drive
2 CIm-drive
1 window motor- arm
1 van door motor-winch
1 globe-arm
2 servos-autonomous

9 in total

comapred to two drills and three pnuematic pistons

Movin on up in life

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

2 drills - Drive
1 window, 1 fp, 1 globe, 1 van door - arm
1 fp - Winch

7 motors

2 servos, maybe 1 more? - Autonomous

1 pneumatic cylinder - arm
2 pneumatic cylinders - Goal Grabbers
2 pneumatic cylinders - Ball herders.

On a 22*10 in plate, we fit 1 compressor, 4 solonoids, 5 spikes, 2 air tanks, 5 victors, a winch mechanism, and the circut breaker panel. The secret is ... well, it will be revealed later (pretty obvious).

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

Oh, i forgot to mention- we have 11 motors but yet no pneumatics :P

with all that extra weight (compressor, solenoid, etc) we'd be way over 130

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

We are using 5 motors and 6 pnuematic cylinders this year. Our arm is all pnuematic to hoist ourselves up to the bar. We also have two to shift our transmissions from high to low and vice-versa. We have 4 motors for our tank style drive train this year. We have a Bosch and a cim geared together on each side. And if you're wondering about the 5th motor, I can't tell you- it's top secret and it's also something I haven't seen on any other robots on CD. If I told you this would be my last post as my team would kill me for letting the cat out of the bag. :D I will tell you one thing though, pay attention to team 237 at competitions ( Hartford and Trenton) and the nationals in Atlanta! :)

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

2 Bosch Drills
2 F-P
1 Van door
5 Cylinders

What they are used for? Only time will tell.

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

Well, we changed to a van door motor winch, and are using a fisher price motor for another task.

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

Last I checked, 1293 is running two motors. We're going CENSORED on the CENSORED, and for the rest, we're just using CENSORED. :D

Oddly enough, we've used no less than three different sets of motors for our drivetrain--first the CIM motors, then the drill motors, then we settled on these other ones--I think they're the window motors, but I may be wrong.

(In case you were wondering, pneumatic, arm, and that last one was just for my personal jollies)

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

We're going with the Chips & Drills on drivetrain, the vanDoor for the winch/armControl (it's mad pimpin), and a seatMotor for the ball grabber.
We might toss on a couple of servos for sensors, but we're not going to have any pneumatics (our newly selected Head of Pneumatics was dissappointed).

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

We got too many, I can tell you this.

2 drills- drive
2 CIMs- drive
1 window- drive
1 vandoor- arm
1 globe- goal grabber
pneumatics- arm

And thats just whats on so far. Much more to come.

Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?
 

Wait.. I'm confused. 5 cylinders? I thought you were only allowed 3. One provided and 2 custom. Errr I'm probably wrong, seeing that I don't read the rules on pneumatics too well. Hey, I'm a drive train guy. XP
