Where would it go btw and how much thrust are you looking for? Custom FP gearbox? CIMs? Details man! Details!
Bot looks so sick, very Poofesque with the paint. |
Sean did finally convince me, we have about 4 lbs of dead weight on the bot. So why not add a fan for a tad bit more thrust. We are gonna get a fan between 15-22 inches; direct driven from a fp due to weight or maybe a 2:1 ratio off of the fp.

I was watching some of our matches and in about 95% of the matches we got pinned by two robots atleast once a match. It kinda sucked
. Hopefully we can push with the fans

Yeah, I think Squirrel brought this part up. When ball collecting mechanisms collide with a part of the bot, it sometimes hits the frame. Good thing we built a tank

We didn't have enough time to machine the #25 series ones because they required some special operations and we just didn't have enough time. But we used a single piece of the AM #35 chain ones and made a slot for #25 chain. They are spray painted black and are used everywhere: the mast, the shoooter and the ball collector.
