My team is going to create a 450rpm 8 motor drivetrain. Two friction wheels are going to be in the middle on each side, and two omni are going on the ends. We are going to use 2.75’’ wheels. Would this setup work? Would it have a good balance between speed and torque? If not, what do we change, the …

Hi. thanks for the reply. We are running six 11w blue motors for the drivetrain, which is 450 rpm and it has 2.75” wheels. I am just afraid of not having enough torque to push other robots or enough speed to move around quick enough to collect blocks. What do you recommend we change? The rpm of our …

Disadvantage? I’d like to just kindly ask why that puts teams to a disadvantage- Lot’s of teams use 4-motor drivetrains and do well! I just need to be able to understand your viewpoint on this for a minute, :smiley: :ladder:

No problem, just wanna help out! Okay- so you want torque but also speed! Now- I respect you for being skeptical about the 6 11w motors but- it happens way too often, you won’t be a new person in the crowd! ▶ Math that sounds really important Now- what affects it would be the wheel circumference (…

Nah, why (lowkey been avoiding that stuff since it’s errors on spelling strawberry with full r’s) ? Did I mess up on the equations? Or were my exaggerations too much (I’ve been told that I exaggerate with numbers a lil bit online-) ?
