Old Motors

So, my team has a motor from a 2007 robot that was donated to us that we are planning on using for our deployment system, though its a little unclear if we can use it.

Re: Old Motors

Stop. If it's unclear that you can use it, read the Manual. Particularly read <R46> and <R45>.

If that motor is the same as a motor from the 2011 KOP, and is within the allowed quantities, then it is legal. If it is not, do not use it on the shelf.

Re: Old Motors

It's still unclear. I've tried posting a picture twice, and so far, it's not working

Re: Old Motors

Quickly describe it with dimensions?

Re: Old Motors

it's similar to the car window motors, but larger. The motor itself is 4" long and 2" wide, mounted to a gear thing that is about 3"x3," though it's not square and maybe an inch thick

Re: Old Motors

It is also solid metal

Re: Old Motors

Does it have a long metal shaft? If so it's probably a van door motor.

(This would also mean it's not allowed in this year's competition)

Re: Old Motors

sounds like one of the old Keyang motors

If it is, then it is illegal. Just use one of the Denso Window motors from this years kit.

Re: Old Motors

Actually yes, it is probably a Keyang as the van door motors went away prior to 2007.

Re: Old Motors

It is that motor. We were using that because it had the right gear size.

Back to the drawing board.:rolleyes:

Those things weren't all that powerful anyway.

Re: Old Motors

Any Ideas to change the gear on the window motor?

Re: Old Motors

The worm gear of the Denso motors are considered part of the motor and cannot be modified.

Quote:

<R47> Motors and servos used on the ROBOT shall not be modified in any way, except as follows:
A. The mounting brackets and/or output shaft/interface of the motors may be modified to facilitate the physical connection of the motor to the ROBOT and actuated part.
B. The electrical input leads on the motors may be trimmed to length as necessary.
C. The locking pins on the window motors may be removed.
D. The connector housings on the Window motors (PN 262100-3030 and 262100-3040) may be modified to facilitate lead connections.

Re: Old Motors

Why would you want to change the gear?

Just put on the black coupler. Then it can accept a 5/8s keyed shaft.
