Go to Post Sometimes students ask me if MIT wants students who are well-rounded. I usually say I don't care as much if you're well-rounded or pointy, what I care about is evaluating the space enclosed by the shape. - Petey [more]

Re: motor/gear ratio

You probably want to gear it up, and if you only have one CIM motor per side you probably want to add one more per side (assuming you don't have any more of them on the robot already, because you can only have 4 maximum). If you're using the kit Toughbox transmissions, it's not too difficult to remove the second stage of gear reduction, then play with the drive chain sprocket sizes to get the overall ratio just right.
