This is my first year on my team which is a second year team. We have an entirely new team due to the fact that the first year team moved on. I was wondering, How do you control SIM Motor speeds, and are there any modifications that you can do to them? We have our shooting prototype, but we need to wait for materials to arrive and we are wanting to test our mechanism more. I have read about control panels and such, but thus far our team has been connecting the motor directly to the battery.
Thanks Guys!

if it's only for prototyping, it would be faster to use a power source (AC to DC converter), which allows to control voltage sent to your motors. If you still want to use full power, use gears or a timing belt to reduce your output ratio

Edit : by the way, they're called CIM motors, not SIM
