How many drive motors did you use (per side) this year? - Page 2

We used 2 on each side last year (chip, and drill). This year we plan to use three (fisher-price, chip, and something else). It doesn't matter how much you use, whats more important is how you use your motors.

hmm, kinda like "it's not the size it's how you use it", lol, yeah, you can use al the motors you want, if you don't use the right gearbox, or drive system then your not going anywhere

571 had a FP and a drill on each side, however at Bash the FPs needed some work and we worked only on the drills for a little, which didn't turn out so well (drills drew too much power when used an continually reset themselves).
