Re: Multiple Motors

You may want to look at our 2003 design here http://team696.org/forum/image.php?iid=164 There are also other various pictures of it in the gallery. Very simple yet fast and powerful. It did have a lot of weight and binding issues because of multiple pillow blocks and chain tension and whatnot.

I would also recommend the Team 716 2003 single speed as we (and 980) used it this year with much success. It is a little bit more complex than a pillow block, sprocket, and chain setup but it is more efficient, smaller, and lighter.
