What motors do you use to drive your robot?

If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. - Adare180 [more]

Re: What motors do you use to drive your robot?

Last year, team 234 used a drill and CIM geared together and then geared way down so that we were slow, but deadly powerful. We geared a transmission in as well, but we ended up not switching gears. This same setup can be geared higher to be faster, or whatever you want.

Hope this helps
