Re: How do you control SIM Motor Speeds

You could also connect one of these to one of the speed controllers in the Kit of Parts, then connect the speed controller to the motor and battery in the appropriate manner.

As for your question about modifying motors, I will refer you to R30 in the 2016 manual...

Quote:
R30 The integral mechanical and electrical system of any motor must not be modified. Motors, servos,
and electric solenoids used on the ROBOT shall not be modified in any way, except as follows:
A. The mounting brackets and/or output shaft/interface may be modified to facilitate the physical
connection of the motor to the ROBOT and actuated part.
B. The electrical input leads may be trimmed to length as necessary and connectors or splices
to additional wiring may be added.
C. The locking pins on the window motors (P/N: 262100-3030 and 262100-3040) may be
removed.
D. The connector housings on window, door, windshield wiper or seat motors and Bosch motors
(P/N: 6004 RA3 353-01) may be modified to facilitate lead connections.
E. Servos may be modified as specified by the manufacturer (e.g. re-programming or
modification for continuous rotation).
The intent of this rule is to allow teams to modify mounting tabs and
the like, not to gain a weight reduction by potentially compromising the
structural integrity of any motor. The integral mechanical and electrical
system of the motor is not to be modified.
Note that for the previous KOP Window motors and the Bosch motor,
the gearbox is considered integral to the motor, thus the motor may not
be used without the gearbox.
