I would actually like more pneumatics than more motors. Just looking at the creativity lots of teams used with them with the cortex system, and how VEXU teams like Bison1 used them for their intakes to make sure they didn’t interfere with stacking, and how SJTU used them for their actuating intakes…

This 1000%, it never made sense for pneumatics to cost two full V5 motors or at this point in the case of cortex any motors. I really hope that the rules change in the future to allow more VRC teams to experiment with them. Its such a simple rule change for the motor penalty to be decreased or remov…

[image] jetc17: at this point in the case of cortex any motors I think it made sense to give up two motors for Cortex. I’m not sure what the pneumatic’s power output is but it would make sense that you give up the equivalent net power output in terms of motor power should you use pneumatics. …

I’m pretty sure vex is intentionally making pneumatics not very viable, as they’re trying to v5-ify everything it seems. perhaps we’ll get updated pneumatic components in the future, who knows.

This might be documented somewhere but I’m failing to find it. does anyone know what the output rpm of these motors are? I’m assuming either 100 rpm or 200 rpm.

[image] Xenon27: does anyone know what the output rpm of these motors are? 200 RPM per this post: [image] New Products - January 2021 (V5 Workcell) VEX News The new V5 Smart Motor (5.5 W) motor is essentially a 393 Motor + IQ Smart Motor: [image] The new V5 Smart…

Would it be possible to test the motor RPM with full voltage applied? (The menu sets speed of the motor to 200 RPM with speed PID. I am wondering if you can set a voltage instead and see what the true RPM capability is) I am wondering how it will compare to the V5 motor when the speed cap is remove…

As long as you guys aren’t looking to run this motor at >1.5 Amp continuously until your battery is dead, you probably won’t run into the temperature limits of the new V5 Smart Motor (5.5 W). [image] We start cutting off the motor performance near 60°C to ensure we do not surpass the glass transi…

[image] Art_Dutra_IV: Unlike the prior V5 Smart Motor (11 W), in the 5.5 W motor we had a temperature sensor adhered directly onto the motor itself. That’s great! Is it possible to have a rev 2 for the original hardware to add similarly accurate temperature monitoring and, perhaps, some addi…
