Re: Motors and gearboxes from the kit
We are attending the Greater Toronto Area Regional in Canada, one of the biggest. Our robot is 4 wheel drive and hour whhels are 2 1/2" this and 9" in diameter. We are not using any side plates and our robot base is made of extruded aluminum (don't really know the right spelling). Were planning on drilling holes in our arm which is 15 pounds it self. We haven't been to a regional yet but our team was wondering how much robot contact is there( any pushing or shoving).

Re: Motors and gearboxes from the kit
Be aware that one of the bearings in the kit transmission is held in by the two CIMs. If you remove a CIM, you will need to find some way to secure it.

What bearing would that be. We had to take apart our transmissions at the compition and, due to time, had to run on 1 motor each for a match. There is a bearing for each CIM. Then there is one for each side of the first driven gear shaft and then one for each side of the second driven gear shaft. If you remove a CIM, it can keep it's bearing, becuase it isn't needed (nothing moving there). Am I missing somthing? |

). It's the one supporting the first shaft (with the 50 T and 14 T gears). |

Re: Motors and gearboxes from the kit
People,
Read the manual!! It is on the ifirobotics.com website. There is a section that clearly indicates what you must do if there is one motor. And yes, you must retain the bearings where the CIM motor is now removed. Holes are already located in the motor plate, you just have to buy some screws, nuts, and washers. Please read the manual, not doing so may be hazardous to your transmission. Also, there should be no noise difference between one and two motors. If there is, than something else is wrong (probably didn't retain the bearings no longer held in by the removed CIM). -Paul |
