Motors.. and more motors.. How many on your 2004 bot?

[WCS V]

Last time I checked there were 4, but the robot may have added more by tommorrow... along with a laser weapon or two.

[edomus]

2 Cims
2 FP
van door
most likely will use both globes

[Andrew]

Drive system - 2 drills, 2 chips, 2 FPs
WoD-m4 = 1 van door
Arm = 2 globes, one seat
Secret Weapon = two window motors

No servos

Total motors: 12

And yes, weight is an issue right now.

[pras870]

(2) Drills - Drivetrain
(1) Seat - Elevator
(1) Van Door - Vertical Elbow Pivot On Elevator
(1) Globe in FP Gearbox - "Pincher" on Arm

5 Motors total

[Roland]

2 Atwood drivetrain
2 drill winch
2 globes to control the bar grabber

and the compressor and a small cylinder for our bar grabber.

[dddriveman]

2 drills -drive
2 CIm-drive
1 window motor- arm
1 van door motor-winch
1 globe-arm
2 servos-autonomous

9 in total

comapred to two drills and three pnuematic pistons

Movin on up in life

[Daniel Brim]

2 drills - Drive
1 window, 1 fp, 1 globe, 1 van door - arm
1 fp - Winch

7 motors

2 servos, maybe 1 more? - Autonomous

1 pneumatic cylinder - arm
2 pneumatic cylinders - Goal Grabbers
2 pneumatic cylinders - Ball herders.

On a 22*10 in plate, we fit 1 compressor, 4 solonoids, 5 spikes, 2 air tanks, 5 victors, a winch mechanism, and the circut breaker panel. The secret is ... well, it will be revealed later (pretty obvious).

Oh, i forgot to mention- we have 11 motors but yet no pneumatics

with all that extra weight (compressor, solenoid, etc) we'd be way over 130

We are using 5 motors and 6 pnuematic cylinders this year. Our arm is all pnuematic to hoist ourselves up to the bar. We also have two to shift our transmissions from high to low and vice-versa. We have 4 motors for our tank style drive train this year. We have a Bosch and a cim geared together on each side. And if you're wondering about the 5th motor, I can't tell you- it's top secret and it's also something I haven't seen on any other robots on CD. If I told you this would be my last post as my team would kill me for letting the cat out of the bag. I will tell you one thing though, pay attention to team 237 at competitions ( Hartford and Trenton) and the nationals in Atlanta!

[Joe3]

2 Bosch Drills
2 F-P
1 Van door
5 Cylinders

What they are used for? Only time will tell.

Well, we changed to a van door motor winch, and are using a fisher price motor for another task.

[Billfred]

Last I checked, 1293 is running two motors. We're going CENSORED on the CENSORED, and for the rest, we're just using CENSORED.

Oddly enough, we've used no less than three different sets of motors for our drivetrain--first the CIM motors, then the drill motors, then we settled on these other ones--I think they're the window motors, but I may be wrong.

(In case you were wondering, pneumatic, arm, and that last one was just for my personal jollies)

[pauluffel]

We're going with the Chips & Drills on drivetrain, the vanDoor for the winch/armControl (it's mad pimpin), and a seatMotor for the ball grabber.
We might toss on a couple of servos for sensors, but we're not going to have any pneumatics (our newly selected Head of Pneumatics was dissappointed).

[Veselin Kolev]

We got too many, I can tell you this.

2 drills- drive
2 CIMs- drive
1 window- drive
1 vandoor- arm
1 globe- goal grabber
pneumatics- arm

And thats just whats on so far. Much more to come.

Wait.. I'm confused. 5 cylinders? I thought you were only allowed 3. One provided and 2 custom. Errr I'm probably wrong, seeing that I don't read the rules on pneumatics too well. Hey, I'm a drive train guy. XP
