 The best way to get to Einstein is to analyze the game, figure out which three robots would make up the ideal Einstein alliance, and then design, build, iterate, and polish the one that best matches your teams' capabilities. - Jared Russell [more] |

Big CIM Impressions
Well, I STFA and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. My question goes out to teams that previously used the small CIM's on their drive, and switched to the big CIM's in 2006.
Specifically, did you notice any perceivable lack of power/torque? Did the motor exhibit any difference in electrical performance (current draw?) Looking at the specs, the Big CIM looses about 20% of power to the small CIM. But, when used in the kit gearbox with a small CIM, the gearbox should only loose about 10% of a dual small CIM setup. Not knowing what the game will call for this year, I'm just hoping to see how flexible our motor usage can be. Any general, or specific, comments on the big CIM will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, BEN |
