Our testing showed that the 775pro motors would function fine in the drivetrain. We had no issues with the motors. While we identified several specific failure points which would be fixed in the final design, these individual lessons contributed to the larger lesson of: "Overkill is totally appropriate for this game." That philosophy drove MANY decisions on the final robot including the decision to go with CIM motors in the drive, the addition of bearing plate doublers on the final drivetrain, the increase of material thickness in most locations, and more. Renegade is one of our toughest robots, in part because this chassis taught us we needed to build it that way.
We are overwhelmed with the number of responses we've received. We are going through all of the emails and will get back to everyone by tomorrow!
