Travis, you can mate motors all you want, but you may only use on the robot the number and kind supplied in the kit.

But it is a cool way to obtain spares.

It does look like you’re betting on the transmissions standing up to double the power throughput, though.

i know about the quantity of motors and what we can use.

my question was refering to the danger that would be imposed by running the fisher price motor behind the drill motor while still using the gearbox.

I know this was done last year (by technokats namely) but i am wondering the effect of the increased torque of the fisher price motor creating a problem that wouldnt otherwise be there with the old fisher price motors…

make sense now?

i am not extremely worried, but we are using the technokats concept for our mount and are curious if any experts know of the effects the increased power will have. aside from heat etc…mainly worried about longevity of the gearbox.

thanks so much!!
