Re: 6 Cim Drive-Train

You can run the exact numbers in the JVN spreadsheet, but when I was looking at a 10:1 ratio on a 6 CIM drive train pushing match I couldn't break 80A of current. Unless you get into a pushing match and try to shoot the ball and climb all at the same time you probably won't break 120A.

The bigger concern should be battery life, which you'll be best suited to figure that part out yourself. 6 CIM is definitely a possibility, teams have done it before, but what your specific design winds up being will decide whether your battery can handle it.
