How many watts is the best amount for a drivetrain?

I’m just curious what you all think.

66, 77, and 88 are all the best in my opinion but don’t go with 77 or 88 unless you have extra motors from a double ratcheting system or just extra in general. Me personally I use 66 I used to have 77 with one double ratchet but now I use two for the launcher and an intake ratcheted for better consistency.

88 watt drivetrain is obviously the best. But there other factors. Like having motors for other stuff…

88 watts is only good if you’re a pushbot

9364H Hailstorm has made it to the finals of 2 signature events with an 88W drive, and they didn’t even PTO.

@Money Because they have a sorta push bot, just with wings and some other pneumatics

we have a 1 to 1 gear ratio setup for our drivetrain and we have 6 wheels and four driven gears with a 4 ,11 watt setup so 44 watts works fairly well but if you want more speed or you want to do something involving a PTO you probably would want a 6 motor drive for more torque and less loss of speed but our bot goes plenty fast with a 44 watt setup
