Re: Old 883= 24V Speed controller???

We actually have a refridgerator on it and a computer (they do have a very needed use). Ok guys. The motors that we are going to use according to GT cant really do much at 12 volts. I myself wanted it to be run at 12volts when we found that the Speed controllers for 24 volt motors were $150 a piece. These motors are very powerfull and stall at like 2500lbs. and they draw something like 115 Amps when they are stalled. Yeah, hover craft cart. If only there was money enough for it. lol

We would try it and if it blew up oh well, but the CircuitRunners don't have much money to throw around.lol

We really do need this powered cart. We not only use our carts for competition, but anytime there is an outreach, there is a robot, and there is a car. So, we need the cart there too. And sometimes we have to go hundreds of yards to get to the presenting area from the place we are allowed to park our trailer. We had to pull our robots from our ending point of our July 4th parade to our booth which was like 1.5 miles away. That wasn't incredible fun.

We will probably contact IFI if nobody here knows for sure.
Also this cart is being mde completely by us the students, and all the money is going to be raised by us the students becasue school funds cant be accesed till school starts on august 9th.
