Except the loss of all 40amp circuits, that's kinda a big deal.
All in all though, this lightweight packaging is a pretty sweet deal. I've really liked the iterations I've seen in the last few days. Too bad we won't see this module at Bunnybot  |
True, you can't exactly just add more circuits. Even so, I still don't see the need for every motor we're allotted. It really does depend on the game, but a lot can be done with pneumatics (254's robot this year had tons and tons of pneumatic cylinders and locks instead of just motors) if you are short on motors.
Also, 1 2/3 cims per module is just a tiny bit more powerful than a 6-cim drive. If you want acceleration in a swerve drive, you can either have a multiple of 3 modules or you can go cim/minicim. I prefer the latter for a multitude of reasons. Think of it: not only can you snake and translate, but you can do it at 20fps and save momentum. The possiblities are amazing!
Now a PTO for this would be the next step...
Maybe #25 chains under the chassis, to use the turning motors to climb or something?
