Hi I was looking for an option to make my slappa faster and i thought about putting over 11 volts in the code.
Welcome 7517F. What is the question?

Is it possible to run a motor at 12,13,14,15 volts?

@7517F Please see the following prior post: Voltage in VexCode - #5 by jpearman
You likely are going to have the best luck with overclocking the motors because the software should prevent that, but have you considered changing your gear ratio? I wouldn’t recommend changing from a red 100 rpm cartridge to 200 rpm cartridge for example, but there are some external gear ratios that are more balanced between torque so the motor doesn’t burn out and speed so you can shoot fast. You could always try that. Like maybe instead of doing 12:60, you might do 24:60 or maybe 12:48? I see why you might want to try and put more volts, but I think there might be a better solution.
