Go to Post So let me get this straight. We'll have 6 hours to re-build an entirely new robot that took us 6 weeks originally to make. - [more]

Re: Motor Controllers

Thanks SO MUCH for the helpful posts this late in the game!

So in our sitch, we are using all the jaguars (4) for the drive motors. That leaves us with three motors to have relays or speed controllers for-

the elevator motor which is a banebot 550 or 775
the shooter motor which is a banebots 550 or 775
the ramp pusher downer motor which is a window motor

We have (1) victor speed controller and (2) Spike relays to use.

It seems to me from what my helpful comrades are saying is that the spike relays could be a problem with powerful motors bcs of the 20 Amp limit?

So we might want to put those where we need the least power?

And Ive not yet been able to figure out for sure- do the PWM terminals on the digital side car act or count as a motor controller? Or do they just control the motor controllers? If so- we must work around our two spikes and a victor it seems like UNLESS ANYONE OUT THERE might have a spare jag or victor we could borrow/buy?

Thanks for any more input at all!
