most "epic" motor ever

having seen motors from years past, i have seen some beastly ones. like the van door and the minibike cim.

so, What in your is the most epic motor ever included in the KOP?

Re: most "epic" motor ever

I'd have to say that the Globe motor was the most versatile motor we used to get, the Cim is by far the best we get now.

Re: most "epic" motor ever

The new FP and the RS-755-18 are, currently, the most powerful "smaller than a 2.5" cim" class motors.

if we expand it beyond the KOP and FIRST, this gets my vote.

Re: most "epic" motor ever

I want a kit that lets you use as many CIMs and Globes as you want, and no other motors. Wouldn't that be nice?

The 2011 Fisher Price Motor. With enough speed to get air over the armature it is a beast.

Re: most "epic" motor ever

i think in an ideal world we would have 4 cims, 4 FP, 4 window motors.

+1. In that case, this year we'd have 8 CIMs on the drivetrain, one for the lift, and two globes on the roller gripper.

CIMs & Globes have been bulletproof.

So far the 775s are holding up, we got lucky with 4 good ones out of 6.

Re: most "epic" motor ever

I liked that gearbox with 6 motors on it that I saw from an '07 game, I think it was called the V6, 4 CIMs, 2 smaller ones. Anyone remember this?

118's V6 was pretty cool.

Re: most "epic" motor ever

CIMs are the best permanent magnet DC motors I have ever used - in FIRST, at work, in school, etc. We had been unable to destroy one in 12 years (until this year thanks to an overzealous rookie and some incorrectly sized mounting hardware)!

I like the suggestion for unlimited CIMs and Globes (or a suitably robust similar "small" motor - the RS550s might be up to it).

Re: most "epic" motor ever

Eh, I'd like some sort of constraint on CIMs, just so we don't have 8-motor drive trains that ram into everything in sight or are nearly impossible to get out of the way of. The CIM takes the cake for 'epic' for their robustness.

I like the motors that spin slowly enough out of the box that I don't NEED to gear it down 1000:1 using a $200+ COTS gearbox or multiple sprocket reductions -- the denso's and the globes were PERFECT for that. Need a wrist joint? Just add 1 sprocket reduction after the motor output. To me, it's more of a challenge to figure out how to do things with less available power than it is to use less power via software.
