How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Our team is using 10 motors on this years bot (not including servos) and to me it seems like a lot. I'm just wondering how many motors other teams are using. How many motors is your team using?

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

6 motors, 2 of which may get dropped from the final robot. That, plus 2 pneumatic cylinders.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

12. Our E-board is HUGE.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

We are planning on 7 at the moment, it could increase up to 9 or even 10 depending on how our plans turn out.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4-6.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

we're using two cims for drive, two fisher-price's for ball lifting, and two denso's for ball hearders...

plus a giant pneumatic cylinder... and accompanying compressor, air tanks and all that

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

we are using 2 CIMS for drive, and 2 for out Conveyor belts

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4 motors and air compressor:D

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Whats the air compressor for if i may ask?

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4 CIM
1 FP
2 Banebots

7 total, most we've ever had on one robot.

What Craig said.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Judging from their team members' responses to some polls on here, they're dumping.

Their robot uses compressed Win. Not air.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4 CIMs
2 FPs
1 Globe

7 Total

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

you can do that?! :ahh:

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Only 3 so far that I know of, but I'm sure that will change to a higher number of course.
We are keeping it simple this year though, so it probably won't increase by THAT much. :cool:

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4 CIM
1 FP
1 Globe

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

We have 2 CIMs for drive and 2 for shooting
a Fisher Price for a intake roller
a window motor to move balls up
a FP to load the shooter
4 motors for the shooter

so a total of 9

:D

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

2 cims
2 windows
1 fisher price
1 globe
2 servos
eggs
milk
bread

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

It's looking 7 for us. Possibly a servo to add for 8.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

we are using 8

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

3 CIMs (2 for the drive), 1 Globe

And yet our robot can pick up from the floor, get balls from the human player, aim with a turret, and shoot with a flywheel. How did we do all that with 2 motors, I wonder? :P

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Yeah, it's in a similar product family as Pure Win Extract. ;)

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

I see that 6 people have responded with 12+ motors...could you folks share some of your design? I would be extremely interested in hearing what 12 motors are capable of !

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

As many as we have the last three years combined.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

I will be most impressed with someone who answers 0 or 1 legitimately!
It is looking like three for us.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4 CIMs: Each drives a wheel of the Crab
2 Globes: One for steering each "set" of crab modules
2 ND motors: One for each of two of our ball moving belts
1 Keyang: Controls our main moving belt
2 FP: Drives the shooter wheels
1 BB motor: This one's seekrit. ;)

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

It seems your conveyor is severely underpowered, and your drive is severely overpowered.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

We'll have 6 on the machine.

2 CIMs for drive, 2 FP for conveying and 2 CIMs for scoring. All of the gearboxes are the same.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

All Dewalts? or all AM planetaries?

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

As it sits 5. I doubt we will add more but the motors may change.

2 CIMS
1 FP-With KOP Trans
1 Globe
1 BB

The Goble Might be switched out for another BB but who knows......

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

The CIMs plug in to the gearbox directly. The FPs are passing through AM Planetary gearboxes first.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

we are useiong 10 I think

2 fp w/AM planetaries for drive
4 cims for something I'm not telling:cool:
and four other small motors for something I'm not telling:cool:
(I'm not sure on these I've been sick and haven't been to the past few meetings)

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

6 exactly

4 cims and two denso's

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4 CIM via 4 Toughboxs
2 Window (tentative, may or may not occur.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

It would seem that way, if one didn't know about all the fancy things our drive base will do. Trust me, it needs that much headroom in drive power.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

At this point, 15 motors. What are they capable of? Adding a LOT of weight:)

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

You've made it abundantly clear what your drive could do elsewhere, I still stand by my statement that your drive is "overpowered", as in, using far more power (regardless of how it's used) than required to be competitive. I also still think the conveyors are underpowered (they may move, but slow I imagine).

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

i would expect nothing less from BBS

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

6:
2 CIMs on drive
2 CIMs on the shooter
1 Globe on the turret
1 Globe on the shooter feeder

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

We are not sure, maybe 6 -7. But i have a question. How many window motors can we use?

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

You can use up to the number of window motors that came in the 2009 kit and no more. Specifically that would be 2 Nippon-Denso motors (1 Right-hand and 1 left-hand) and 1 Keyang motor.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

We are using 5
4 Cim Motors: for each Wheel with Toughboxes
1 Window Motor: For Steering

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

4cims, 2 fish, 2 window

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

i wnt to see how this will work

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Wow, I'm getting the impression that my team's robot is overly simple:

2 CIMs for drive
1 CIM for conveyor belt
1 globe for the dumper.

Well, I guess its just fewer things that can go wrong...

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

Yes, it is just fewer things that can go wrong....good job!

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
 

With regards to how people can have 12 - I can see it.

4 drive motors for crab.
2 motors for steering crab.
2 motors for pickup system.
1 for Pan turret.
1 for Tilt turrent.
2 for ball shooter.

We have 9 motors on our bot.

Thanks!:D
