Another CIM Question
Well guys, this is MOE's second year using the CIM motors as our main powerplant. Unfortunately this year we have encountered a slight dilemma.
With a multi-speed transmission, we're having a slight problem moving our robot. Unless it is in its lowest gear, (Approximately a 15:1), the robot will not move. Our second gear is a 5:1 ratio, and will not move the robot one bit.
Our wheels are approximately 2.5 inches in diameter. It's bothering me to no end that this robot will not run in this gear.
I've checked the drivetrain numerous times for any type of binding, but alas I'm still stuck.
Any help or suggestions with how your robots are managing to run?
Thanks guys, (And girls).

At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. - Cory [more]
