Join GameSense and FIRST for the third episode of
Behind the Lines,
LIVE tonight at 8 PM ET!
This week on
Behind the Lines, we will be going over selecting motors and gearboxes for your robot. Motors are one of the, if not the most important component on an FRC robot, and using them to their fullest potential should be the goal of every team. You’ll learn why putting 6 CIMS and 4 mini-CIMS on your drivetrain might not be a great idea, how to select motors for a specific job, what gearboxes make sense in common FRC applications, and learn about some off the shelf solutions available to teams.
Evan and Ty from GameSense will be joined our expert, Prof. Ken Stafford from WPI and team 190. Ken has been an expert on DC motors since his days at graduate school, and has taught this material to thousands of high school and college students over his 15 years in academia and FIRST.
We want to hear YOUR questions about our topic (ever released some magic smoke and wondered why?). Email them to us at
