5459 the Ipswich TIGERS are all ready to fly… more photos to come.
Looking good Ipswich! Looks like we have some catching up to do… Hope to see you all soon!
What is the gearing you guys are using on the BAG motor there, does it climb fast? Or is it slower than say, 10 seconds.
Beautiful bot, very impressive for such a new team
Matt,
We are running a Mini CIM for our climber on a 70:1 (10:1 and 7:1) versaplanetary set. It runs around 5 seconds with a two inch drum, however, if we can keep the final weight of the robot under 100 lbs, we will be switching out for a 50:1 ratio to save a half second. Also, I highly appreciate your support for the visual aspect of our robot, it means a lot!
Beware of the 10:1s on the versa, the middle gear is extremely small and is prone to slipping,breaking, etc. I recommend a 9:1 instead.
Nice to see my old team getting along so well! It’ll be great to see you guys next weekend!
Tucking our robot in for the night. Can’t wait to do a full reveal.
