Re: Van Door motor help

the van door motor is immensly more powerful than the window motor. we set up part of our arm today, the window motor could not even lift the 12 pound arm up, but the van door motor swung it around at a dangerous speed.

Re: Van Door motor help

Does anyone know an effective method for combatting the van door motor's backdriveability? As in, so it will suspend an arm with a tetra, requiring about 10ish Nm on the motor? The only good way we could think of was having it lift the arm along with the non-backdriveable window motor, but it is a nuisance getting them to run at the same speed. Any thoughts?

Re: Van Door motor help

gearing it to the point that the motor at stall or idle will stop the arm works, but it will slow down the movement speed of you parts (arm i am guessing). it will give you More torque, but someone told me that an arm that takes more than 6 seconds to move from bottom to high enough to cap will only be able to cap 3 goals in a game (not sure on the math).
