Re: combined free speed of 3 motors


Many teams that put 3 motors on a drivetrain gearbox want to know the acceleration characteristics when full voltage is applied to all 3 motors. Finding the single-motor "equivalent" motor curve permits the use of existing spreadsheets and models that don't support multiple mixed-motors on the gearbox.

Go through the attachment to post#1 step-by-step and tell me at what step you disagree or are unconvinced, and I will explain the justification and make explicit any tacit assumptions.
