Re: gear box for Denso throttle motor

My local high school team (5464) has 3 members that used to be on my team (3840). They won the rookie award but came in 56th place out of 59. I don't want to see them get crushed at Einstein, just creamed. They want to put wheels on their intake but they are a rookie team and don't have anymore motors besides the throttle motors. Given the incredibly high cost of going to internationals, they don't have any spare money. I calculated that the throttle motors, once gear reduced, should have enough torque to suck in totes. Thanks for the input everyone.
