Re: Alternative motors for drive train
With the recent flexibility in the use, number, and types of motors, I cant see why anyone would use anything other than CIMs in their drivetrains as their main source of power..........other than weight issues.
In 2010, we had a pretty tough drivetrain that allowed us to play striker in all of our tournaments. Oddly enough, we used only a 1 CIM/1 FP (AM planetary gearbox) drive on each side to push robots around. We did it to shave off weight during crunch time of build season.
That year we had I believe a 47 match win (non-loss) streak including the ties.
