Drive Motors

[sciencenerd]

We used 4 small cims in the KOP gearboxes, like the last five people or so. Next year, I hope we can get a couple cool multi-speed transmissions put together... *eyes 716*...

We used 2 small + 2 big cim motors in the AM 2 speed. Worked beautifully, and we're hoping to make a 2 speed we designed.

4 small cims in dewalt trannys

2 small cims in 2 KOP trannies <- bad idea, too slow, too weak, saved weight though!

For next year, 4 small cims between 2 custom made 2 speed transmissions that we're currently designing.

[Richard Wallace]

4 small CIMs with a custom speed reducer for each, driving custom omniwheels like this and this. A fun summer 2005 project for learning about holonomic drive, but not an effective propulsion scheme for Aim High.

Like most other holonomic robots we were very maneuverable, but too easily pushed off-target. Here is a shot of our robot in action against a good opponent.

4 small CIM's. Two per custom made fully closed off HDPE Gear Boxes. (the box was HDPE, not the gears).

4 small CIMs in KOP gearbox, 5.7 ft/s. Worked quite nicely. Next year, maybe either 4 Sm. CIM in DeWalts, or 4 Sm. CIM in a 33 style four speed. (Although I'd really like to do 4 Sm. CIM + 2 FP in AM planetaries + 33 style four speed --> unrealistic)

[Andy Brockway]

4 small CIMs, 2 per in our dual speed gearbox. Same design as 2005 so no new white paper this year.

[IA-Howitzer]

We had pneumatic dog shifting (shifton the fly) tranmission with completely custom designed and manufactured gearboxes. We used 4 CIM's and 2 FPs.

Cyber Blue used the traditional 4 small cims
We were cool and shifted with servo motors (They don't like to shift on the fly very well though...)

[Jeff Waegelin]

We used 4 small CIMs on DeWalt transmissions, in a holonomic configuration. It was a bit of overkill, as we never really utilized the shifting feature. It was cool to say we had a shifting omni-drive robot, though, even if we didn't use it

[Joohoo]

team 340 had two small cims with two speed andy marks

[Gabe]

Team 604 had 4 small CIM's, two per KOP transmission.
