How many motors are you using on this years robot?
Our team is using 10 motors on this years bot (not including servos) and to me it seems like a lot. I'm just wondering how many motors other teams are using. How many motors is your team using?

6 motors, 2 of which may get dropped from the final robot. That, plus 2 pneumatic cylinders.

We are planning on 7 at the moment, it could increase up to 9 or even 10 depending on how our plans turn out.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
we're using two cims for drive, two fisher-price's for ball lifting, and two denso's for ball hearders...

plus a giant pneumatic cylinder... and accompanying compressor, air tanks and all that

Judging from their team members' responses to some polls on here, they're dumping.

Their robot uses compressed Win. Not air.

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?
Only 3 so far that I know of, but I'm sure that will change to a higher number of course.
We are keeping it simple this year though, so it probably won't increase by THAT much.
