Team 662 had drills and CIMs for drive this year. Since the CIMs are about 4x faster than the drills/planetary gearboxes, we used two black 2:1 gearboxes per side to gear down the CIMs 4:1. We then hooked the drill motors/planetary gearboxes to the final output shaft of the gearboxes. We also had a sprocket on the output shaft and geared down the motors some more. We used these 8" pink pneumatic tires we found at Harbor Freight, and the whole setup proved to be great for both speed and power. We could push around anyone we needed to.
