How many motors are you thinking youll use?

[Kevin Sevcik]

Oh why not...

4 CIMs on drive
2 FPs shooter
2 RS-550s conveyor
1 PG71 (new AM gearmotor) deploying the bridge wedge/platform
possibly 1 PG71 or window on shooter angle


Comments on some earlier posts:

There is, in fact, a practical limit of 30 (servos + Vex motors) since you only have 20 possible PWMs on 2 sidecars.

Similarly, there' only so many motors you can put on your robot. Or, at least, only so many speed controllers. At $110 each past the first 4, they start taking a significant chunk out of your budget. I realize not everything needs a Jaguar, but still, that 19 motor team is blowing a lot of budget just on motor controllers. Not to mention whatever they're using for gearboxes or couplings or what have you....
