Re: pic: Team 4592 Ball Shifting Gearbox
Why are the speeds high? I understand that maybe for an open field, you want to travel at 20 fps (although I use 16 fps for my gearboxes), but I'm not sure about 8 fps as a low speed. One person pointed out on one of my gearboxes going at that similar low speed that the goal of the low speed is not to go fast, but to win a pushing match.
So is there a way to bring that low speed down to... something like 6 fps? This would mean more torque and less current draw, therefore a longer time that the bot with this gearbox can be in a pushing match.
