so my team uses motor wings but they are kinda flimsy so when we push the balls we don’'t have the power to push them well
Could we have a picture of them?
I’m not exactly sure what “flimsy” means, but here is some general advice:
Add some washers/spacers to decrease the wiggle room your wing has (if your wings twist)
If your motor doesn’t have enough torque, switch it to a lower cartridge/gear it down and mount the wing on a screw joint
Try to make some mechanism that removes the motor a bit from the force. Here’s an idea (though you’re going to have some wire management issues):

Hello!
Next time you need help on the forum please ask a question, as it makes it significantly easier to answer it.
Do you already set your motors to hold when they’re out? Are they vertical wings or horizontal wings? Is it a problem with the actual wing itself, or is it just getting back driven?
Please post a more specific question for a more specific answer.

Vertical wings won’t be pushed back as much if you make the joint right

Do you have a video of how the wings and motor operate together?
These are my current wings (There is another forum where I go in depth with how I made them)
If you set your motors to hold, they should hold just fine, at least they do for mine

If the wing hinges downward then you can put a brace halfway down it that is supported by the chassis in a triangular setup. The brace will rotate downward with the wing. You can use 5.5w motor to move it up/down. The brace will take all the load and w/ be incredibly strong.
