Re: CIM Motor Sacrifice
Hi, my teams plan right now for our ball launcher is to mount one or two of the Bane Bot RS-775-18V (at 12V) motors to CIMulators, and then into a CIMple box; which will then drive two 8" 2011 KoP wheels via chain or belt. However, we have no experiance with these motors and gear box. Do you think that this is a viable/reliable option?
Also, I see that some people have used the Fisher Price motors to drive ball launchers like this. How are these motors attached? Is there a COTS gear box, or do you have to custom make one?
Thanks.
