Re: Motors Vs Motors
What motor do you specifically want info on?
For a shooter/dumper, you want both speed and torque. (Or speed and power, which can be translated into torque.)
A CIM is good for driving because it's VERY hard to smoke one accidentally. It also is pretty heavy, so you want it low, and it's got pretty good power and speed.
FPs are typically used to supplement the CIMs or power arms, lifts, and shooters. Depending on the application, you can use their own tranny, a Banebots tranny, or an AM Planetary to get your desired characteristics. At it's lighter than a CIM, it can be mounted higher.
Banebots are typically used mainly for light-duty FP-type work with their own trannies.
Note: all height references are with respect to the CG in a game that involves climbing or sudden acceleration.
To set up a motor with a sprocket, you need a gearbox of some form, at least for the FP and the Banebots. While each has its own, others are available from AndyMark or Banebots.
