Re: Team 2470 Summer Project

Have you tried running this with a person or at least a similar weight on it? It seems like one CIM on each wheel couldn't go very fast when bogged down with the weight of a human being (unless they are a very light one). And, since you aren't constrained by FRC on motor allowance, you could probably beef this up by doubling up the CIMS.

Of course, I could be wrong, as I never tried something of this nature before.
