Re: Team 25 elevator
our elevator will go about the same speed (for general use it is massively slowed down) we have our elevator with a gear ratio of 12:1 off a big CIM... don't worry this motor does more then just our elevator up and down, it has a servo clutch that switches between that operation and lifting the 2 robots (we have two platforms that they drive onto and we lift them up using that) the final gear reduction for that is 144:1. This ended up saving us a tonne of weight and we have a super quick elevator... reliably the quickest I as a programmer could get it to the top without overextending and possibly ripping off our tube manipulator was 1/2 sec... but our mentors wanted that toned down a bit
