Re: 3 motor drive train
well wouldn't it be a waste of power, as well as weight, because, the weight of the gearbox that FIRST gave us this year is heavy, imagine adding another moter to, as well as the gears needed to get the ratio and the speed right. and the power part, well six motors drawing the power all at the same time, which 2 motors could do, or even 4 is, well alot, leaving little power for the arm, but it might work if you are a pushing robot only. also the chances of something breaking or screwing up are greatly increased. which is always bad in the competion.
