Re: Using two CIMs in the Banebots Transmission
Hmmm...after some thought I think I just might get two more gearboxes, with a total of 4. The robot design would be for 4WD, so now that I think it would make more sense to have each wheel be powered by it's own independent gearbox/chain geardown. It'll wind up costing us almost double, but worth it. Double the strength and reliability, with the same current requirements as a doubled gearbox.
