Re: Shifting Gears

I think that Rob just read my post a little too quick. (No biggie ) I think you can easily be competitive if you have:1. More than one pair of motors (4+) or 2. A shifting transmission My thesis is this (restated): You can not be competitive using only two motors total and no shifting mechanism. I definite "competitive" as a max speed greater than 10 feet per second, and having a maximum applied force of 150 lbs. Using the above "competitive" criteria, this is simply not possible, and not really a really up for debate. Perhaps my definition of competitve could be debated, as it does depend on each game. If you'd like some quick numbers, just let me know! Matt |
