That being said, I do have one question. You said that this works like a simplified version of a car clutch right? If so, does this mean that both motors are spinning constantly? The reason I ask is because I know several teams last year had battery drainage issues with high usage of both the drills and the chip. Let me know your thoughts
If I had a nickel for everytime someone told me to come join their team . . .

As for your second question -- the only motor that's spinning constantly is the Chiaphua motor. Even then, it's spinning at low voltage with a low current draw when the robots at the low end of its operating range. The drill can be safely turned off entirely once the robot's moved beyond the useful speed of the drill motor.
