 FIRST is the best thing I could have ever done. It shows me where I think my limits are, and it destroys them right in front of my eyes. My experiences with FIRST have defined who I am, and I am beyond blessed to have had them. - Audrey Chu [more] |

Re: How close can you mount the IFI Controller to a CIM motor
I don't know, but you better make sure you can access your controller's ports and buttons, or your life will be miserable!
Actually, 7 inches should be no problem. Maybe less, though I wouldn't try it much closer. |

Re: How close can you mount the IFI Controller to a CIM motor
We have room for an inch or two and it will be directly above one motor and close to another. But it will still have easy access.

Re: How close can you mount the IFI Controller to a CIM motor
we put ours about an inch a way from two cims and havent had a problem yet. We also ran our robot for 2 hours and havent had any gliches because of its proximity. the only motor that might cause a problem is the CIMS from years past that are no longer legal on this years robot.

Big CIM = Confused with current CIM (Chalupa) motor Current Chalupas = replaceable with any (including last seasons) Chalupas I'm guessing the mini bike motor with its larger windings put off more EMF than the smaller variety of the CIM motors, possibly causing adverse effects on other components. |
