wow
ok, the reason for this post was because i want to keep the gearbox very simple adn achieve a speed of 9 ft/sec. also torque. This is the first time im designing a drive train and i want it to run smoothly. Im also scared of dual motors because theree is like a .5 mm shaft on the drill and i don't want it to crap out and its too complex for my first time. The reason i thought the chips would be better because they seem like they never break, and they have almost 5 time the rpm of a drill. From what im hearing is that the chip is only
slightly less powerful, speed can be adjusted in gears but torque cannot, right? So, here's my question, if two robots were identical and one had chips and the other drills with gearbox(high and low) who would win in a pushing match?
thanks
