Re: Drive Train Calcs - Not trusting my results

In all of the data logs I took on our 2012 practice robot, a straight-line accel always dropped the battery to 8v on launch. The time under voltage was highly dependent on the gearing and battery state of charge, but the low-voltage peak was always around 8v or lower.

At T0 where v=0, current in a 4-CIM drivetrain would be around 500a or so.
