Re: Adding FP Motor to '05 KOP Transmission
What do you mean adding? You want your robot to run on two FPs and two CIMs? That would be perfectly fine. However, as I recall the 6V FP running at 12V going through the AM planetary will give you a no lload speed of something like 6500 rpm where the CIMs are closer down to 5500 rpm. Quite a difference, but you could just pwm limit the FPs perhaps. Also, I think the shaft on the AM planetary is slightly longer than the CIM so you may have to trim it. Other than that, I'd say you're good to go.
