using the recommended design (a little modified of course), we are using the drill motors for our drive train, attached to sprockets and chains. tank driven.

initial problem was the motors would buckle up on HIGH gear and refuse to turn. while, LOW GEAR did fine but still showing significant effort.

as this is a recommended design, I was curious what other teams have done to combat this problem. is it even possible to stay on high gear?

need some useful tricks of the trade here.

thanks.

Anton
