Alternatively we might use this 3 motor gearbox:

More specs:
The wheels are 6x1.5" colons with WCP live and dead hubs.
The tensioners are HPDE rods. You twist them to vary the tension.
Chassis is 27x33 in long configuration.
The braking method is borrowed fr 1477's 2012 robot. |
Yeah that's really slow for a 2 speed. I would reccomend finding gears from vex that have the same combined tooth count that get's you to around 16fps(100% efficiency) give or take.
