Re: 3 motor gearbox
Increasing the wheel diameter increases time. Is this right, because at first glance it seems backward?

Re: 3 motor gearbox
What do the green boxes in the excel document mean? Is that the recommended gear ratio?

Re: 3 motor gearbox
Right, that one. I've been studying for my physics AP tests and my brain is fried.

Re: 3 motor gearbox
The rs-775 is about 3x faster than CIMS, so should it's gear be about three times bigger? I'll do the math to get it exact if this is the case, but it seems like the CIMulator is the way to go.

Re: 3 motor gearbox
I've got the math behind how it will work down, I'm interested more in the construction aspect.
What motor characteristics need to align to pull off a gearbox with different motors?

Re: Meetings
The time commitment is another good point. I personally logged over 200 hours of fabrication/assembly, and upwards of 300 in CAD/design.
Not to mention that FRC consumes you, and for 6 weeks it...

3 motor gearbox
I was wondering what factors to take into consideration when designing a gearbox for 2 CIMS and 1 FP. Obviously reduction off of the output shaft for the motor needs to have a matching RPM, but is...

Re: Meetings
It depends on how big your team is, and how often the meetings are. After week 2, a handful of other students and I worked almost every day from after school (2:16) to 8 at the earliest. We weren't...

Re: Team attitude
To be clear, no where in the original post did I mention winning or losing, merely a lack of interest in the competition.

Simulated Season
I'm thinking about re-running an old season over the summer as a design exercise for new recruits. What season would you guys recommend, and where can I find the rules for that game?

Re: BB: I'm tired already
I agree with the concept, though think the execution left something to wish for. That being said, I'm psyched to go to the concert, and won't mind the pit-fields 'cuz we're on Galileo!
