Re: Fans/Propellers - Are you doing them?

A few extra ounces of pushing power should always be welcome on the slippery surface this year. I'm surprised not many seem to be doing it because it is so simple to implement. Just take a spare motor and put a hobby shop propeller on it, mount the motor with a hose clamp behind a screen for safety. Have the software turn it on when the wheel motor current (or command level) exceeds some forward value.
