Re: Major mechanical problems....

We dont have any problems whatsoever as long as the bot is off of the ground. We are using the standard wheelchair wheels in the back and caster in the front. Our bot weoghts about 75-80 pounds. We are also assuming that the motors are encountering either friction/resistance from somewhere and that is what is overloading the circuit.

One question that we do have is:

Are the CIM motors as good as the drill motors? We seem to get much more power out of the CIMs that we did the drills, but that all depends on the gearbox, of course. We plan to continue with the CIMs as long as we can track down the fuse problem.

Thanks

Team 1380
