Re: How far can you gear up a nine inch Mechanum without blowing the jaguars?

Last year our team used eight inch mechanums with a 6:11 gear ratio. We were using CIM motors, and It worked great for us. Were basically duplicating that drive train for this years game. I'm not sure what effect that would have on Jaguars, but that basic system has proven to have decent speed by any standards, and we've never had anything fail. FYI the manuverability is a huge bonus. Good Luck!
