Motor controllers?
Hey, new team here. We were wondering if it is really necessary to get a motor controller for every single motor controller that we use. We have 4 separate CIM motors for moving (victor 888's) 2 CIM motors for throwing the ball (2 jaguars), the gear box for a pickup mechanism, 1-2 motors that move the pickup mechanism, and 2 window motors for an angling mechanism. So do we really need this many motor controllers? are there cheaper motor controllers besides the victors and jaguars? Can we hook up two motors to one controller for the mini-CIMs? window motors? 2 CIM motors (ball shooting)?
