Re: HELP with drivetrain decision

Okay so think of it as what are the positive and negative affects of adding the CIM back.

Positive:
1.) more pushing power
2.) more wieght toward bottom of robot
3.) better acceleration
4.) slightly higher top speed

Negative:
1.) Where do we find the wieght for it
2.) Is the robot a ballerina or a boxer? (meaning does your robot have the right gear ratio's and traction material to push with) If it is a ballerina then you should probably forget about the CIM.
3.) where do we find the wieght for it???
