Go to Post Inventions are not built using premade parts. People come up with new ideas, from different angles and with renewed enthusiasm. Playing the game is fun, building and designing is inspirational. - Steve W [more]

Re: Burning the FP's

Yeah, right now we are gonna use a two stage sprocket set up to gear it down. First will be about 2:1 second will be 4.5 to one. In addition to the FP gearbox. Thats...... somewhere in the vicinity of 1100:1. Then multiply nine times 40 foot pounds (the supposed torque of the FP motor) and our arm should theoretically have about as much torque as some cars.

Re: Burning the FP's

We tried two stock FP Gearboxes with an additional 6:1 reduction (180*6= 1080 total reduction) and it powered our 7 lb, ~4.5 ft arm but drew 30 Amps each when 13 lbs were loaded at the end of the arm. See attached pics #297 & #303.

Not a good scenario for those FP's - design it so they don't have to draw more than 15-20 Amps at full load, otherwise they just might not last. We made a new transmission that has 260:1 reduction (see attached pic #311) and then the additional 6:1 for a total of over 1500:1 reduction. Hopefully this will keep the motors in tip top shape and we still get a couple ft/sec at the end of the arm.
