Re: Kitbot transmission plate
The gearing this year is definitely adequate to prevent excessive heating. The final ratio (counting the sprockets, not just the transmission) is 17:1 I believe. Last year we ran successfully with a 13:1 ratio, the motors would barely be warm after 10-15 minutes of driving around. They even moved the bot around with a 4:1 ratio, but they were definitely too hot then.
Unless your going back and forward quickly, or in a shoving match for most the 2:15 I would expect the motors to be fine for the match and quite a bit afterward. |
