Re: HELP with drivetrain decision

If your tires break loose, adding more CIMs won't do anything for you since you already can't put your power to the ground. Work on traction instead.

If they don't break loose, then worry about adding more power by adding motors.

A 10 motor drivetrain doesn't do any good if you can't put more than 2 motors worth of power to the ground.

IMHO of course...
Ditto.

Our wheels slip whenever we push other robots, and we only have 1 drive motor per side.

Having a multi-speed transmission helps too, and the need for those extra CIMs is lost. Our low gear allows the tires to slip when we push a solid object, so it has enough torque without having to add more CIMs.
