Re: pic: TEAM 1213 GROVES HS

What gear ratio are you using between the CIM and drill? Drill in low is at 450 rpm and the CIM is at 5000(?) rpm. This is greater than 10:1, not matching close will cause one motor to add inefficiencies to your system. Of course your robot looks pretty light right now so this is not a big concern right now.

As you add systems the inefficiencies will show up in battery drain. Possibly a big factor at the end of a match.

I love the picture of your robot climbing the cabinet! Add an anti-gravity unit and you will get up on top!
