I’m just imagining the highest torque you can get… 1:7, 1:7, 1:7… slow but probably able to break limbs
I wonder how many v5 motors you would need to build one of these:
I love the recycling of parts used here
Is that the V5 beta system, and do you have a video of it actually moving?
Its definitely beta motors but the rest of the stuff looks new
If you used pwm 3wire output to drive motor controllers, you could get some beefy battlebots-level motors+controllers and basically make an autonomous electric go kart.
Vex Robotics Competition:
MarioKart
MarioKart is played on a 1 x 1 mile square field. The goal? Get to the finish line first with your alliance. You can use shells against the opposing alliance. Do not throw shells at other drivers.
The shells are the caps from last year, just painted different colors
Don’t forget the ITZ cone bananas.
I know we did this for our KOP chassis & cortex in frc last year, do you think it’s possible this year using V5?
We used 2 mini cims and a small electronics board to make a testing and prototyping chassis. Before that we stuck a chair to it for fun.

I can hear the music already
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if there was a video of this robot defending its territory from a household pet or Roomba?
@jpearman, please, please, please…
Please don’t revive old-ish topics for meaningless additions like this.
@DRow Lock?
Uh 14 days aint oldish
Thats just 2 weeks. Oldish is like 2 months
why does your brain screen look so weird?
That’s V5 Beta Hardware… it shipped in a light grey and white color scheme
Much better than the current ones imo
Who was given the beta hardware?
You had to apply for it and it was used for classroom applications
