Re: Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?

We are using 5 motors and 6 pnuematic cylinders this year. Our arm is all pnuematic to hoist ourselves up to the bar. We also have two to shift our transmissions from high to low and vice-versa. We have 4 motors for our tank style drive train this year. We have a Bosch and a cim geared together on each side. And if you're wondering about the 5th motor, I can't tell you- it's top secret and it's also something I haven't seen on any other robots on CD. If I told you this would be my last post as my team would kill me for letting the cat out of the bag. I will tell you one thing though, pay attention to team 237 at competitions ( Hartford and Trenton) and the nationals in Atlanta!
