Re: CHIPS

Someone mentioned earlier that the Chips do not run the same speed forward as they do backward. This can be changed. Losen the bolts that hold the motor together (don't take them out, just losen them one or 2 turns) and hold the motor by the black part in one hand. Have another team member connect the motor to a battery. You will notice that if you turn the back peice of the motor in relation to the black body, the speed will change. With a tach, you can adjust the motors so that they run the same speed in forward and in reverse. This is nice because then you don't have to worry about which way the motors point. Doing this with the drill motors is MUCH more difficult, and i wouldn't reccomend it.
