Hey Joseph,
Its powered by 2 window motors through a gearbox that is chained to a large sprocket on the arm. No more cables (I hated those stupid things)! Have not broken a window motor yet during our week of practice (can't say the same about the couplers, but we fixed that).
Its mounted under the tube on the back end. Same pitch and starts leadscrew, but 20:1 banebot instead of 64:1.
4 Cim's and 2 Banebots 775's.

I wish I could have dropped by some time this build season, but overdrive's FTC bot wouldn't allow me to 
Some questions:
What are you using to pivot the arm at the base? I hope you won't go through 30,000 window motors like we did last year.
I know that the FP motor is no longer *in* the arm, but it looks geared down a lot less, is that true?
Why 6 motors in the drivetrain? they can't be all CIMs, are they?! :O
(if you don't want to give all your trade secrets away, you have my email  )
Good luck at NJ and DC! |
