Okay, the test results are in from one of my test teams.

Special thanks are due to Alan Fallone and the rest of Team 1279. They put in a lot of work for us. Thank you thank you.

The Test:
500 Hard Cycles: Full Forward, Allow the robot to get to full speed, Full Reverse, Allow the robot to get to full reverse speed, repeat.

115lbs robot
6WD
Roughtop Conveyor wheel tread

Test 1: 16:1 1-CIM
Test 2: 12:1 2-CIM

Note that Alan reports that with the 2 CIM set up, they only could go 100 cycles before needing to replace the batteries. This is not a low energy jog around the park.

See the attached pictures, but given the severity of the test, I expected much worse.

There needs to be more data gathered, but I am beginning to believe that this problem would not have been a significant factor for almost all teams using the Banebot 56mm transmission.

Stay tuned.

Joe J.
