Re: Additional field coils around motors

This thread points out the Tim Allen mentality as applied to robotics. More power. However, with with the reality of the ever increasing cost of energy, the wise conservation and application of power makes more sense. A KOP trans with dual cims has a considerable amount of power. The use of this power in design and strategy will probably yield better results than trying to add more power.
