Re: 22 motors?
 

Ahh, ok. Well, then I think the 22 number will be reached by a minority of teams then.

That's a lot of power draw during 2+ mins even IF they aren't being used non-stop.

Re: 22 motors?
 

Not to mention the fact that, perhaps I'm just missing something, but the PDB only has 20 spots on it for motors...

Re: 22 motors?
 

Shhh... let them live the dream.

If you have more than 11 motors on your robot, all I can ask is, "Why?"

Re: 22 motors?
 

2 of the motors are the VEX motors which are PWM off the digital sidecar. Hey, there's just enough space!

Re: 22 motors?
 

i see this as a advantage to all teams, however i don't think many teams will utilize it. it's nice to see an extended limit. i would like to see a robot with 22 motors that each have a purpose though...

Re: 22 motors?
 

Its good for a laugh.
And as mentioned, the PD wont hold that many. Personally as controls captain Im trying to keep to no more than 8, four for drive and four for the challenge piece whose designs have not been finalized yet.

Re: 22 motors?
 

A few comments:

-You are theoretically limited to 21, as there are 20 spots on the PD board. However, one must be dedicated to the cRio modules, thus leaving you 19 for motors. The two Vex motors can run at 6v off of the digital sidecar, so they don't count.

-You do have to make the battery last the whole match.

-You do have to make weight.

-The point of allowing so many motors is to give teams the freedom to choose the right motor for the right application. It is not a challenge to use as many motors as possible.

Tell 469 that, can't wait to see what the bring out :p

Re: 22 motors?
 

I'll ask them.....

(goes on FB to ask some 469 friends if they are building something crazy)
