Amount of motors for good drive train

[Gigabyte]

I know this question has been asked in the past but I wanted to see if opinions changed on this

I would say that a 66W drivetrain is best for most teams as it doesn’t overheat extremely quick, has nice torque, and allows for 2 motors on other mechanisms (this is the one that im using) . If you want to you can do a power sharing mechanism with a 88W drivetrain and use it for your intake and the rest of your robot can be pnematic, or you can have a pnematic intake and avoid the power sharing mechanisms up to you, 88W drivetrains are very strong and hard to push arround. 44W is the abolute lowest that works for VRC this drivetrain overheats quickly under high loads or with high speed but allows for 4 other 11W motors (or 8 5.5W motors)that you can use on other mechanisms

66w is by far the best in terms of being able to do everything. usually with a combanatoin of motor sharing and pneumatics you can do everything else with 2 motors. (technically 88w is hte best cuz the more motors the better)
