 A lot of the time in FIRST it's not what you have when you enter the program, but what you gain from being in it. - Elgin Clock [more] |

Re: Interesting Drive Train Idea...
Well, don't make it a mechanism! Make a multi-motor, constant drive gearbox!
However, as evolution has said, most FIRST robots have FAR more torque than they can effectively use. I'll put it this way: using the kitbot gearboxes, geared to an 8ft/sec top speed, pretty moderate to good, we still slip our elevator wheels at like 75%. And we can push alot of people. * The nice thing about multi-motor is, you can have a high speed robot without sacrificing good pushing force. But, with both worlds, comes a massive battery drain at stall! |
