We have some of our motors set to high speed, and some to high power (internally geared). When we took our robot apart, we forgot to separate the motors by type.
Is there any easy way to determine the motors internal gearing (besides taking the motor cap off). Can I run it with a gear on it to see if there is a difference (will I be able to see the difference?), or can I use ROBOTC to help me?
Thanks
(I guess this would be an āAWW shootā moment right here ;))
If you attach a gear/sprocket with a marker attached at one point around the edge (like a screw or standoff or even a piece of tape) to each motor, then run them simultaneously, you will see a pretty significant difference between the two settings (100rpm vs. 160rpm).
Yeah I replaced them both one was completely destroyed could not spin it at all ( I think the HS) the other I just replaced just because I thought it was a good ideaā¦
Haha so now my robot has an IME on the right side but no IME on the left cause the screws stripped ( third time I have transfered the IME)
Good thing Iām not using themā¦
Ohh also on a side note I got like 2 hours of sleep last night
I think I actually tipped 44 of course unintentionally⦠I will need to watch the video of it though⦠44 built their robot in 6 days before the event quite impressive if you ask me⦠but they got excellenceā¦
Video will come when 4886a uploads it⦠I canāt record and drive at the same timeā¦
Also this whole thing was super stressful especially that last gameā¦
I donāt think itās so much the āeliteā members. Their members are all really close friends and it just so happened that they were different years. Three of the original four are in college, so Leland has been on his own the last two years for the most part.
