Also, I agree with Joe. I like the 775s and I will miss them. |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
Was hoping for a <$20 60A relay for intakes, internal rollers, etc. Flywheels as well, if you can get acceptable performance out of a bang-bang controller.

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
I feel like this is asking for a lot. It would have to be an electrical relay, since mechanical relays can't switch fast enough for bang-bang control. At that point, most people would have a hard time distinguishing an electrical relay from an actual speed controller.

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
Actually a Blog post is not that good of a way to share this kind of important information as overall not that many people look there on a regular, consistent basis, if at all.

We stopped using spikes for anything besides window motors because of the annoying tendency to blow the fuse with the bigger motors. |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
I'll concur with this assessment. We originally used two 550s on our elevator this year only to have them not have enough torque to perform to our expectations. Using the BB specs, it should have been no problem for us.

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
Im pretty sad about not having the use of 775 and 550's anymore.
This is also why I need to STOP stockpiling motors (just like the old FP motors). These were very cheap and took up such a small volume. Worst news I heard all year........ ![]() |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
I am assuming both new motor controllers don't do CAN? Neither website says anything to either effect.
EDIT: I see on the CD thread for the SPARK that it doesn't support CAN. |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
Am I sad to see the 775 go? Yes it was a great little motor.
On the other hand I think the massive expansion of motors the last few years has not been a good thing. I would love to see a big reduction of available power via motors for the design challenge. |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
So with the Banebot motors out of FRC (R.I.P.) what would be the new go to motors in terms of power?
Edit: Quick research yields that the Andymark 9015 Motor might be the next strongest that is not a CIM-class motor. Is this correct? Last edited by Munchskull : 29-10-2015 at 17:25. |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
I want to know whether or not the dual- and quad-bank SD540s will come at a discount with respect to buying two or four of the singe units...
Also, what happens if I manage to fry one out of a bank of four? Inquiring minds want to know! |

Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers
Very excited about additional motor controllers. A bit concerned about the lack of "vented" motors on the list. 550s and 775 had their issues with stall, but when done right, the air cool was nice for consistent performance.
Anyone have issues with BAG motors overheating in heavy competition? I would assume they get and stay hot similar to CIMS which is a bit concerning when you have back to back matches. Any experience? |
