All this talk about matching free speed or matching torque is great. It adds to the knowledge base for the students. But when it comes down to the practical application in the FIRST robots, we need to match the current draw for each motor. If one motor is drawing too much current and trips the breaker then what? You can design the most mechanical efficient drive train but you are still limited by the 40A circuit breakers (P=IE)
Lets keep the debate going. This is great stuff
Go Boiler!!!
