lol I like how this thread turned into a "what are u using motors for?" Anyway I defiantly feel better now knowing were not doing anything wrong as far as the amount of motors. We have enough jags and victors counting the ones from previous years, 2011 KOP and the ones we have coming in. And space isn't a big issue.

Haha I actually saw that and I thought it was pretty funny how everyone sort of ganged up on the team
. But thank you for the reference. We are using 8" mecanum wheels, each directly coupled to a 2 stage GEM planetary gearbox. So I dont think we'll have any problems with the drive train specifically. as far as i know 9 motors is the most our team has ever used so it just seemed like a massive amount. But that's to CD a mental crisis has been averted.
Guess its a good thing I'm not the electrical guy
