Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?

3 CIMs (2 for the drive), 1 Globe

And yet our robot can pick up from the floor, get balls from the human player, aim with a turret, and shoot with a flywheel. How did we do all that with 2 motors, I wonder?

Re: How many motors are you using on this years robot?

We'll have 6 on the machine.

2 CIMs for drive, 2 FP for conveying and 2 CIMs for scoring. All of the gearboxes are the same.
