Motors

So, since we know that there will be a change up in motors, what motors will be gone, and what will replace them??

We've had two or three different versions of drill motors in the 6 years that I've participated. I think that they will stay (assuming FIRST's supplier doesn't stop donationg) as they are still the easiest to hook up for a simple drive train.

From what I have heard, there won't be any motors (Chiaphuas, Johnsons, Boschs, or anything else) in the kits. Instead, we will get a box containining 144 servos, modified for continuous rotation (like the ones in the EduRobotics kits). The trick will be to figure out how to gang 47 of them onto one shaft for the drive systems!

I heard that they were sending a live crate with some hamsters in it

by only having one previous year experiance i cant really take a guess, but i was happy with our drill motor configuration, even though we had a drill/atwood trans, that never got working how we wanted it, we just took them off...I cant wait to get that big box of parts!

We could have all pneumatic power of course there is a motor in the compressor.

All in favor of using lawnmower engines raise hand.

Errr yeah that what i was implying. It really wouldn't make much sense to try and make the wheels of a robot move with linear motion. If I had to I would go and build a legged machine. Inertia labs uses a motor that uses pneumatics as its power supply but... its really dumb for our purposes.

wouldn't that really be tough on the battery?

Why not make a robot that can generate it's own energy off it's momentum?/movement?

That would work only if you had 100% efficiency. It would never be that efficient.

I still say go with lawnmower engines, or at least weedwacker ones.
