I totally agree. I don't understand why some teams that are going to 6 CIMs
AND a two (or three) speed gearbox.
In order to take advantage of the extra torque, do you need some form of traction control? Are you using a PID loop to control the voltage ramp? Are you imposing an open loop ramp on the driver or motor commands? Do you monitor motor currents for stall? Do you simply let the wheels spin and degenerate to the kinetic CoF for a small time?
We can either sit around and complain about what could have been, or we can focus on the upside of what we have and move on. - Vikesrock [more]
