In previous years we ran similarly geared 6CIM drives without issue unless we stalled in high gear. And I feel that the extra pushing power is always nice to have, motors can always be removed later. |
At stall, a CIM motor will draw 130 amps at 12 volts, regardless of gear ratio.
The function of that part is to keep one student occupied playing with it during the entire build season. It doesn't have to be the same student all the time, they can take turns. - MrForbes [more]
