Re: Trim for motors
A few years back(when I was working with 66), we used the van door motors(not sure if they are included this year or not, haven't really studied the KOP list for this year), along with the braking feature on the Victors, to successfully hang all 130ish pounds of our robot(the "breakaway claw" that we had that year, for those who remember it). Basically, we had both van door motors on opposite ends of a common winch pully(direct driving the pully), and relied on the Victor's braking option to keep us from sinking to get the "hanging" points at the end of the match...if the Jaguars have a similar feature(I think I remember reading they do, but with how my mind works, who knows if I'm right or not...), that might surve your purposes well...
