Re: Homemade resitor
Al, with the 4 ohm resistor in the circuit the motors no longer had enough power to climb the pole. We initially tested the concept with a variable resistor. Values as high as 10 ohms resulted in decents almost like free fall. Values less than 4 ohms really decented very slowly but would over heat the motors. Btw, we had a switch that shut off all power when the minibot hit the base. It was an interesting experiment but all of our current minis use back emf.
