Re: Drivetrains - How are you doing it?
The problems alot of teams are having with bots that are at weight limit, is that when you gear up the drivetrain to a crazy speed (20 fps lets say) you have to factor in acceleration time and the space provided to accelerate, therefore many teams with robots capable of reaching that speed never really do. (however teams with smaller and lighter bots *cough*148*cough, have a significantly reduced acceleration time due to their lesser inertia)
To combat the acceleration problems we use 2 cims and a fp per side with a max speed of roughly 16 fps.
