Re: CHIPS
I guess I'll just throw the comment out there that you simply can't be competitive with just one pair of motors and no transmission. You simply won't be able to move fast enough or be able to apply enough pushing force.
On another topic
Efficiency isn't really a concern for these motors. You don't worry about running out of juice in a match, you worry about moving faster and pushing harder than other machines. You want more power out of your motors. I'll take getting .5 HP out at 60% efficiency over .45 HP out at 99%. The batteries are rechargeable!!
Just some thoughts,
Matt
