Moving Battery

[dsirovica]

We had the same idea. Thanks for the great comments.

How "fine" can the regular drive-train CIMs move the robot without a "low" gear. Can they do 0.5" steps? Or do we need a separate mechanism for fine adjustments? (sorry for the newbie Q)

On the angle/gravity autonomous action, make sure you don't start oscillating, or just the music up & we'll have a dance

Thanks for the replies. We've decided against moving the battery, we're pretty sure.

Dean,
The CIM motor has more than the three poles that the FP motors have but the amount that any motor can move an object is dependent on the gear reduction ratio as well. While some motors offer better fine control, you should have no problem getting a CIM fine tuned to 1/2". You might want to look at the AM gear motor or a seat or a door motor for this application.
