Question about Actuators

I was wondering if this type of actuators will be accepted by the FRC?

Thanks

Not with the stock motor. You’d have to remove and replace the motor to be in compliance with the rules.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of any electrical actuators that are compatible with any of the approved motor list? We need one w/ a 2" stroke and another one with a 8" stroke… Both ideally about a 1/2" diameter rod and able to move… Well… Unsurprisingly 120lbs minimum.

Thanks!

http://dartactuators.com/ are designed for CIM motors.

Other than that, you may have to do some engineering. This is, after all, an engineering challenge.

… for kids… an engineering challenge for kids…

But yes… thanks much! We’ll look into dart.
