Hrmm.. Question...
how do you guys deal with the fact that the Chippy is alot more powerfull than the Bosch motors, and.. im im not mistaken runs slightly faster than the Bosch? ~Pyro |

Our driver is trained to hold the joysticks at different angles. j/k what we really do is gear ratios.....

The drill motors are actually the ones that are more powerful, about %50 and they also spin at a speed almost 4 times greater than the Chips. I understand now to match the speeds but how in fact do you adjust for the difference in power? Its like driving one side with 2 Chips and the other with 3.

that was last year. the drill motors are a lot more powerful last year
hmmm, you obviously never saw the drive train on Team 121's bot last year - it had the same setup, and worked very well. I also know that it was quite fast enough to give us (team 571) quite a headace when we tried to push them out of the way. the left and right side , i believe, are run at different gear ratios in order to achieve the same speed. (true, one side is probably a little more powerful than the other, but i don't think that that affected anything much. |

if you do it right like we have everything is same speed and power throughout.

Is that an illegal battery in there though?

I don't see how it would be. The battery can be in any orientation

well, the only way that i can think of for the power matching is in code. By limiting how much power goes to a particular motor...
It doesn't make sense to have 2 totally different types of motors to put out the exact same thing mechanically w/ or w/o gear ratios.... |

ok you wanna know what really powers our wheels. WE put these guys in little metal boxes and let them turn the wheels. THis is an artist rendition of what we do. We also feed the gerbils the same food. so power is equal. To make the bot turn one way, we use brakes on the gerbil wheel to stop power.
