Re: Motors and gearboxes from the kit
Well, at our practice competition, we found out our robot was 14 pounds heavy, so we drilled a lot of holes in the sprockets and our 6061 Aluminum box and our 2"x6" box beam that is the base of our arm. We think we lost about 12 or 13 pounds based on weighing the shavings and pieces we cut out and decided to save. We hope the scale was a little off. We considered removing a motor, but we remembered that we did the calculations with one and two and one would just not work at all. Also, we plan if we are more than a pound off to take out the compressor and add a tank which will save us about 2 pounds.
