Re: Experience With 6 Cim Drive train

We had 6 cim single speed at 11 fps and were traction limited with versa wheels. Never tripped any breaker.

Just my opinion, but for the short duration of FRC matches, the low gears on 3 CIM gearboxes have way too high of reduction for robot movement (if the goal is preventing a breaker from tripping). However, if that slow speed is part of the design strategy of the game, that is a different story.

Those breakers can take some heat, let them get a little toasty, especially since FRC is held during the winter.
