What motor(s) are you using to power your lift and how many totes can you lift?

The build team has 3 different opinions about what will work best for the winch motor . As the mentor for the team I suggested each try out there motor and design on the robot to see which one works best . They are doing this today , so we will see . In the running is the new KOP gear motor with encoder ,CIM motor and 90deg. gear box , CIM motor and tough box.

CIM, not SIM.

Looks good!

Did you use a license plate for the corner gussets?

It is a street sign that was found in a ditch complete with shot gun blast and bullet holes in it . The students just thought it would be cool to build from as much recycled material as possible.

The lifting frame is made from Tele-Power poles that were acquired from dumpster diving at a office remodeling project . The 80/20 was surplus from a local college and other supporting parts are window frame extrusions found dumped in a vacant lot next to my house.

If you are still testing winch motors my team has had much success with a CIM motor attached to a gearbox from a Dewalt drill. There is a whitepaper out there somewhere on it. I believe Dr. Joseph Johnson(one of our old mentors) made it but I'm not entirely sure. We used this set up during breakaway to lift our entire robot off the ground with no trouble at all.

Thanks for the information I will show this paper to the build team . Looks like a option they did not think of ,and best of all I think I have one of these some where in the shop that the motor is burned up in . So it would meet the teams goal of recycled material.

For our elevator we are using a CIM with a 25:1 Vexpro VersaPlanetary gearbox driving sprocket and chain. The sprocket's pitch diameter is 1.79 inches. With a 40 lb load we can go up at 1.3 feet /sec measured. Our Pid controller puts out 15 % motor power to maintain the 40 lb load at set point. With 20lb load there is no motor output at setpoint with the talon set to brake.

Thanks Ken,
Very good ideas and looks like your team has done a lot of research on the gear box design . Our team is composed of 95% new kids this year and they need all the advise can get. They thought about chain drive but are leaning to using a wire cable and winch design for the lift.

love this, and on top of it all your robot actually looks fantastic! My former team usually built this way due to con$traint$, but our robot usually looked like it was made from scraps.
