Re: CIM-U-LATORS
We received our p60's last week although ours were for the 550's. It's disheartening to hear how far behind banebots is on teams orders.

Re: CIM-U-LATORS
If you don't mind, can you post up your order date so that other teams (including mine) can get a feel for where Banebots is at with orders?

Re: CIM-U-LATORS
WOW! I didn't realize how behind these things actually were
I hope we can get something before build is over because I'm reeealy against using those window motors for what we need them for hope the 5th CIM happens ![]() |

My guess is that FIRST did not tell them that they were only allowing 4 CIMS this year. I know we wouldn't be using the Banebot motors and thus be waiting on CIMULATORS if we could have had a 5th CIM. |

Maybe FIRST should conduct a survey of where teams buy a lot of their components from. -Brando |

We placed our order for P60's at 9AM EST on 1/19/11 and I do not believe it has shipped yet. I believe we fell into the earlier group of the now 10-15 day lead time so ours should be shipping soon, I guess. Quote:
Shoot, if they're unable the order volume due to business size or staffing or whatever, then maybe they could look into having AndyMark carry their product line as well since AM doesn't really make many Gearboxes for the Smaller Motors and we know AndyMark is capable of handling the volume of build season order with a reasonable delay.

Re: CIM-U-LATORS
Has anyone looked into adapting AM planetary gearboxes to work with RS775 motors? What about the 550s? I'm guessing the motor shaft is a bit too short to work with in both cases...

Re: CIM-U-LATORS
Our order time was 01/24/2011 13:12:46 EDT. They assured me I was in the earlier lead time. We still do not have a tracking number. We have basically given up on these arriving for our initial design. If we find they will improve our design later, maybe we will use them, but at this point we are moving on without them as best we can. Even the FP motor for the AM planetary from AM is not available yet.

Re: CIM-U-LATORS
You received this motor in your Kit of Parts.

Re: CIM-U-LATORS
All,
We have successfully used the AM Planetary with the RS 775. Both 217 and 148 are using the AM Planetary for their robots (and no we are not collaborating this year). IFI provides 217 with sheet metal so we returned a small part of that favor by modifying the AM input plate and the input gear to work with the RS775. We are using 4 and I think 148 is using at least 3. I have the drawings and will post them if there are interested parties. If you are exceptionally desperate you can PM me and I can give you the address to send your plates, gears, and RS775 motors for us to modify. Regarding the speed match ... you do not have to match at free speed if using these with CIM motors. I am using these with CIM motors and the AM gearing is just fine. Actually, if you do the math this ratio is much better for our application than matching at free speed. Paul |
