Re: Climber help: thermal breakers.
With two 775pros of power, you should be able to get a climb as fast as you describe without drawing anywhere near 60 amps per motor. [s]Is it possible you're on the "wrong" side of the motor power curve? You might be at the point where your under-load speed will actually go down if you increase your gear ratio.[/s]
Edit: Yes, your math is way off. Assuming you ONLY have the 33:1 ratio, and 80% efficiency, you should be drawing ~30 amps per motor and climbing in under 2 seconds with that setup, even with a 150 pound robot. Are you sure you selected the 775pro and listed 2 motors per gearbox in JVN's calculator?
