Re: Drive Train Calcs - Not trusting my results

Getting a precise measurement for a specified system is all well and good, yet when considering the end results of controllable decisions, the resistance of the battery & wiring doesn't necessarily effect two outcomes of the same FRC robot differently. Thus can we assume that, given gearing choice A and gearing choice B, the wiring/battery resistance is the same and doesn't need to be modeled?

Though taking the battery resistance into account would provide better results on modeling systems like rotary arms as they relate to desired performance metrics (current spikes & time of rotation). Thanks for pointing it out Kevin, I hadn't noticed that spreadsheet.
