Re: Interesting Drive Train Idea...

with a drive train with at least 3 motor on each side of the robot would be great for pushing power with the right set up.

Some of you said that you would like to use the power some where else.


What you should be working on is using the drive train to drive and then to power something else.

Back when you had to lift your robot up on the pole. if you could of used the power on your drive train to also do the lifting, this would of been great. same way like this year. Most people had to stop before they shoot. just think if the motor you used to drive with also ran the shooter.

We have been working on this for awhile to make a light gear box to do just that. take the power from your drive train and put it to something else
