Re: Fisher Price Motor Power
I just redid my calculations, and being able to lift our robot (I'm assuming our robot is 150 pounds) with one Fisher Price robot is possible, but its going to be very tight.
From what you said Dale, I would be afraid that this would smoke out the motor, so I think we're going to be trying to lift our robot using 2 Fisher Price's.
Do you guys have any tips on how to make sure that our motors run simultaneously? In my expereience, with the CIMs at least, even though your programming is set to activate the motors at the same time, they still don't power simultaneously. With the design for our flipper, its really important to have the motors working simultaneously.
Thanks for all your help so far!
