Re: Anybody have extra throttle motors in the Bay Area?
We haven't decided whether we're doing RC or FRC control systems---the appeal of the former is that everyone can drive their robot at the same time, but we like the idea of the latter b/c we could have a swappable electronics box that teams would have to design to easily connect and remove from their drivetrain (we don't want to buy each team a full control system for the obvious reason of $$). But yeah, we're not thinking more than 30lbs, hence the lithium batteries, and we don't expect the robots to go very fast. JVN DesignCalc seems to tell me I can get 5-6 fps with 3 CIMs on each side, which is good enough for this. We're planning on building a test drivetrain and seeing exactly how much we can get, however.
