Two Drills for the past 3 years.
Our 'bots have often focused on speed rather then beefy drive trains. The extra pushing power of a 4 motor drive would have been nice, but didn't really fit into our game plan. Two drills are the most bang for the buck (the buck being a number of things... weight, current, time). While being powerful, their transmission allows some flexibilty going into the match. With a third drill motor in the kit for a replacement, they make the perfect drive motor for most all FIRST 'bots. If you don't use the drills on your drive, I'd be very surprised. So while having the Atwoods or FP motors running with the drills would have been very nice (and were planned for '02), those motors are either more usefull elsewere or were to heavy. Chances are 95 will stick with the drills. What can I say? We have this thing about really heavy (complicated) ball pick up devices. At least we're good at something right? -Andy |
