Minibot Motors
 

Is there any restriction on Minibot motors? The rules do not specify

Re: Minibot Motors
 

It must be made out of FTC parts... this means the FTC DC motors.

edit:// 1 sec and i'll snag the rule

Re: Minibot Motors
 

There is a very specific limit on motors. The robot section of the manual, 4.3.14, <R92> says you can only use two DC motors of a specific part number. I assume they are the ones included in the FTC kit on FIRST Choice.

Yes, no more than 2 tetrix motors <R92>B

Re: Minibot Motors
 

<R92> The following items are the only permitted materials for use on the MINIBOTS:

B. no more than two motors (PN W739083),

Re: Minibot Motors
 

MS Word translates it as: "We are using the engines of lego apparently can!"

Which is a very incorrect assessment by <R92>.

Re: Minibot Motors
 

Does anyone have specs on these motors? I have been trying to find data for the torque curve but so far i had no luck.

Re: Minibot Motors
 

Does anybody know yet if we are allowed to use NXT-G to program the NXT brick for the minibot?

Re: Minibot Motors
 

Does anyone know the weight of these motors? we don't have any yet but we're in the middle of designing and dont want to be over weight.

12-volt DC motor features 152 rpm and 300 oz-in. of torque.

Re: Minibot Motors
 

Has anyone characterized them? I presume they have 152 rpm at no load, and 300 oz-in of torque at stall...

Re: Minibot Motors
 

would it be better to go two motors two transmissions geared down or two motors one transmission geared up?
