So you did have more Torque than us, I always wondered....

In addition to gearing, the torque output depends upon wheel diameter and coefficient of friction. We were running on 4 AM omniwheels and 2 AM kitwheels, all 6" diameter. We were heavier than y'all, I'd venture, as well.

What sort of wheels did you have and what size were they? Did you have an additional chain-based reduction after your 12:1 gearboxes?

I think we probably could put more torque to the floor, as things go, but momentum ought not be underestimated and we were quite a bit slower than you.

Custom single speed 6 wheel drive with pneumatic brakes and custom 6" wheels

Lil' Lavery · #19 31-08-2007, 19:01

Two AndyMark Gen. 2 Pneumatic shifters, each with dual-2.5" ("Small") CIM motors, further reduced by a 12:30 chain reduction, driving 6" AndyMark Performance wheels (live axle) with Roughtop Nitrile treads. Six wheels, center wheel lowered 1/8" at IRI, but coplanar at VCU and Championship.

Custom 2 speed ball shifters, 4 cims...

Aren_Hill · #21 01-09-2007, 14:52

3-speed-shift on the fly- coaxial swerve drive.

powered by 4 cims through dewalts

Josh Murphy · #22 01-09-2007, 14:57

2 speed Nothing but DeWalts, for us.

Arefin Bari · #23 02-09-2007, 01:03

AM Gen2 all the way...

Custom of course like The Tech Tigers would do anything but.

Custom 2 speed dog shifter running to 6 custom 4 inch aluminum wheels.

Simple, effective, and potent. We held our own and actually damaged several teams drive systems when they decided to play head to head against us.

Keep an eye out, our '08 drive train should be something of a spectacle.
