low gear vs high gear - Chief Delphi

Designing for failure tends to encourage failure. Worrying about failure analysis during the competition can become a self fulfilling prophesy. Break your pots in the fall and learn how to keep them from breaking. - Mike Betts [more]

low gear vs high gear

Posted by Anton Abaya.

Engineer on team #419, Rambots, from BC High / UMass Boston and NASA, Mathsoft, Solidworks.

using the recommended design (a little modified of course), we are using the drill motors for our drive train, attached to sprockets and chains. tank driven.

initial problem was the motors would buckle up on HIGH gear and refuse to turn. while, LOW GEAR did fine but still showing significant effort.

as this is a recommended design, I was curious what other teams have done to combat this problem. is it even possible to stay on high gear?

need some useful tricks of the trade here.

thanks.

Anton
