FPs Gone Exothermic
Well we weren't planning on giving our robot the ability to roast marshmallows
  ...just kidding.  Our biggest problem in building our robot has been procrastination... As such, the robot was built yesterday, in time to discover that FP motors like to overheat. Our "leadership" called me to see if I as a programmer could slow them down to avoid a bonfire. I'm not too knowledgeable with the motors and such, but as I have read and understand it, slowing down the FPs would only cause more overheating, but maybe I'm wrong. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to see it. If we should change to a different motor, suggestions as to which ones would be greatly appreciated, as any other advice. Thanks in advance. |
