4 Atwoods!!
For 2002, we successfully used 1 Boesch and 1 Atwood geared to a common output. We geared the motors so that each were operating at 75% output. We never had a problem over heating the drills or the Atwoods. Accelleration was over 10 ft/sec when in high gear, and in low, gave us plenty of grunt to push or pull a few of the big dawgs around the block without overloading the motors and tripping the circut breaker. Depending on what tasks we will need to do in 2003, we will be able to tweak the gearing for higher torque or accellaration over 18 ft/sec. Of course I think it would be cool to have the bot do a big wheelstand as it launches out of the hole and throw out the laundry on the big end...but this is not drag racing....?
