Go to Post What I would really love to see is having the teams try to solve a problem that is real scientists are trying to solve right now. Wouldn't it be cool if a team came up with a robot design that could solve one of the world's worst problems? Talk about FIRST publicity! - Beth Sweet [more]

Re: button activation for motor

Well, we can use any buttons, but we think it simple enough to go with buttons numbered one and two.

The goal of this is to have two motors, which are attached to wheels (for a total of two separate motors and two separate wheels), spin and launch a soccer ball, similar to those tennis ball launchers.

We want the buttons set up so that the motors activate when button #1 is pressed, and then continue running until button two is pressed.

The motors (CIM motors) are directly attached to the wheels (no chain or anything) and need to spin in opposite directions.

We will be wiring them to jaguars.
