It can be done w/o machining: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=73237

Re: Conveyor belt motor

1 CIM through toughbox for intake/hopper
1 FP through banebots for elevator

Re: Conveyor belt motor

We were using FPs for both the ball intake mech and the conveyor.. however we are having issues with the wobble of the FP gearbox, and it is kind of slow. So now we're keeping a FP on the collector and putting a CIM on the conveyor belt, which should actually make our conveyor work 2 x faster.

Re: Conveyor belt motor

we originally were using banebots, which supplied adequate power, but after a quick glance at the rulebook, figured out that 7 banebot motors were not legal, so we strapped on a Cim, and are a having some FUN!

It is as simple as a 1/4" threaded coupler (which is reduced in length to the width of a gear, and happens to be the perfect fit inside the plastic gears), some threaded rod or bolts cut to size, and (2) 1/4" bronze bushings.

You can get about 1000rpm with 2 gears left in, and about 3300 with 1.
