Motors/Battery life
Some members of the drivetrain team went down to a company that makes motorized wheelchairs a while back, and came back saying that we can't run four CIMs on the battery, alone without electronics, and still have enough battery life. I contend that last year, several teams ran more than four motirs, plus electronics, the compressor, etc, and still ran it. And since the battery is pretty much the same 12v-18a power supply ((Can anyone clarify the difference between the ES-18-12 and this years EX-18-12?)), we should be able to run ours. DOes anyone have any adivce on this? I think we should at least run two motors for each transmission on a RWD system, but they keep saying it wont go...
Also, what motors do you recommend for the drive system? On a RWD I mean.
