Re: pic: Team Unlimited's Gear Shifter
Since it's not single-design oriented, I believe I can answer the motors per side question.
Certain teams might not find it necessary to have 2 drive motors per side. However when you weigh the entire robot down with steel manipulator parts, if you're geared for speed you'll definitely notice lackluster power due to the extra mass. In other words it will take (seemingly) forever for the bot to get up to speed. If you have a very lightweight bot or it's only geared for med-high torque situations (therefore low speed) you could probably get away with 1 motor per side. |
