 At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. - Cory [more] |

Re: Multiple Motors
We actully used #35 chain and sprockets to match the Drills in low (with threir gearbox) and the Chips before putting it into our transmission. I wasn't on the chassis team, so I don't know what the number of teeth on each sprocket was (something makes me say 3:1, but that's kind of a guess), but I do know that this is how 494 did it on their 2003 robot, maybe someone from their team knows.
Also, if you plan on building our gearbox, make sure you heat treat the gears. We had some problems with that before we heat treated them. I haven't talked to Jim about it, but hopefully the whitepaper will be up soon with detailed instructions on how to build it. I'm not sure if he'll put instructions on how to make it multi-motor. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll try to answer them or ask Jim...or I could ask Eric, he built it. |
