Question Re: Chip/Drill Gearbox

I saw something very different yesterday as I was messing around on the web. One team had two chips on one side and two drills on the other. I kinda liked it. I would love to hear some feedback from 61 or any other team that has done that. Andy B. what's your two cents on this if u please when you get a chance and any other input on this from others is appreciated . THANKS!!!

Re: Chip/Drill Gearbox

I would not recommend that. It would be very uneven; one side would either go faster or push harder or both.

121 did this more than once I believe and it seemed to work fine.

As mentioned earlier, the white papers on this site have some great gearboxes that combine the CIM and Drill motor. The trick is getting the drill motor down to a speed that is similar to the CIM motor. Usually, this is done with reducing the speed of the CIM about 3.6:1, as that is the ratio of the free speeds.

With a good CIM/Drill combo gearbox, you can drive your robot fairly fast with the power available. Many robots have used this setup and gone 11-13 feet/sec with ease.
