Re: How many motors can you run at once?
If I remember correctly our 2012 bot gets the award for most motors
4 motors for conveyer belts/pick up
2 motors for shooting
2 motors to drive
1 motor to tilt shooter/shift electronics board and battery (for weight movement during balance)
1 motor for bridge device

Thats 10 (I might be missing one because I remember the number 11).

We placed bets to see which would burn out first. We NEVER changed one.

no problems, with so many motors. most were even running the whole time, and many under ALOT of wieght
