Improper gearing and power draw
Ok
Quick question; on the field we are drawing way too much power and as a result lose the ability to do much. This is, as was told to us, the result of improper gearing (6:1) and six inch wheels. We have two cims and one mini on each Transmission, one Cim from the shooter, a compressor, and an Andy Mark motor driving our pickup.
We are considering removing both mini cims and installing omni wheels on the back of the bot to help lower traction and lower the power draw. Does this sound like something that would help?
