Re: CIM Voltage and Motor Suggestions

Hmmm... See the problem is that if we upgraded the voltage we were using with the CIMs, we would have to re engineer our gearboxes with a different gear ratio so that extra speed would translate into more torque. Since we need to redo the gearboxes either way, those Dewalt ones are looking awfully nice

The one problem at this point seems to be attaching the output shaft on those to our wheel, which has a key slot-thing already cut inside.

Any ideas? I can get some dimensions for you guys if that would help.
