Re: Motor Testing
What about the case where we don't have the datasheet?
Last time I checked we didn't have datasheets in the KoP. I believe that the datasheets for 2008 were not available until a week into the season. If you have a way to determine to determine the specs for 'the new FP motor' (even +/- 10%) faster than that then it puts you at an engineering advantage.
Oh, this motor's got twice the wattage of last year’s -> drivetrain.
Yeah, there are risks with doing testing on the motors that you need to use, but figuring it out before you need it allows you to truly understand the risks and make appropriate choices. I applaud teams that take on activities like this in the fall.
