Re: 1:1 gearbox for CIM motors?
save the sims for your drivetrain, use FPs or 775's for your shooter. And if you insist on using a CIM to power you shooter, I would advise against using a 1:1 ratio, assuming your using the CIM to power a flywheel. Your wheel will take a while to accelerate to full speed and every time a ball is fired the wheel will take a while to get back up to full speed. I would recommend 1 or 2 banebots or FP's geared around 3-5:1. And if you insist on using a 1:1 ratio for your shooter just use a shaft coupler, a 1:1 gearbox is completely redundant and just adds extra weight and cost to your robot that you don't need.
