 I, as a programmer, always strive to have the entire robot operate with as little driver input as possible. Those pesky humans.... - dellagd [more] |

Cim breakers tripping?
Hello. My team was having a little trouble at the West Michigan regional with the main CIM motor's breakers tripping towards the end of the match. My mentor tried to explain that as the victors heated up, resistance would rise causing a higher current draw, but that seems backwards to me.
My thought was that maybe 2 victors weren't enough to push our bot and the CIMs were being over-taxed. The bot weighs 119.2 pounds(without batteries) We are using a two wheel center drive system, 1 motor per wheel using standard toughboxes with direct drive to the wheel (no further reduction after the toughboxes). Would adding another CIM to each wheel remedy this situation? Thanks alot! Last edited by Hazmatt : 27-03-2008 at 21:59. |
