Re: Minibot motors

There are a couple of easy ways to modify the gearbox. One way results in a ratio of 31.2:1. The other way results in a 10.4:1 gearbox. We ran the 10.4:1 gearbox with roughly a 2" diameter wheel in KC. The minibot climb time is about 2 seconds. This seems a bit slow, but with a reliable deploy it does okay.
