Drill motors

[dddriveman]

All very good ideas. I alos agree with most of them I started this thread to get an ideal of what others thought about the ideal of more drill motors. Many of you said that it would make it to easy for teams if they gave us more power but, what about those teams who do not have alot of experience or the help they need to build complicated drivetrains. I think that it would give the smaller teams a more equal playing ground. Also at the same time it could give the complicated drivetrains more power. So it is either a win-win or a loose-loose situation. It all depends on how you look at it. The thing that I loved about the drill motors this year was the fact that they were easy to mount and supplied enough power to keep up with some of the best of teams

i was exagerrating (bad spelling i know) about the 1 ounce wire thing. the main idea though is that some teams want 1 or 2 motors more (drill type) to have some options. but when you think of it it takes more weight to add them to a design. your bot would look like swiss cheese by the time you reached 130 lbs. ok lemme try and explain it a different way

1 more motor with wiring and speed controller to make your bot more manueverable / what ever else your trying to make your robot do will be the equivalent of that big or smallest piece of metal that holds your robot to a sturdy and award winning frame. i may be wrong on what i said but all it is is my 2 cents.

You know, no real engineering project would require matching unlike motors, so maybe more of the same is a good thing.

But, is FIRST a real engineering project?
