Re: Number of FP Motors

Quote:
<R60> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
 Electric motors and/or servos different from, or in addition to, those in the Kit Of Parts, with
the exception of those specifically permitted by Rule <R59>.
 Electric solenoid actuators (note: electric solenoid actuators are NOT the same as pneumatic
solenoid valves – the latter are permitted, the former are not).
You got 2 in the KOP so you can use 2, no more than that.

I'm probably not the best person to answer your question regarding globes, but I think I can ask some questions that may help others answer it better.

1. What are the "bands in the kit"? The surgical tubing bands? The Gates belts?
2. Could you gear it differently? If using the gates belts, use different size pulleys on one end or the other?
3. What other motors do you have available (or which ones are already on your robot, whichever is easier)
4. What does the globe interface to, a sprocket, a pulley, a spool, etc.?
