It just drops back down at that point. Also, this pic shows our temporary drive train with the fisher price. Our competitive drive train is a CIM + Bosch gearbox with 15ft/s optimal output. We were having trouble getting our gearbox in time because we sent it out to get machined so we tested our bot with the fisher prices just to get it mobile for practice and testing.
Set speed controlers on break, gear down your arm with sprocket reductions.
