Motor Pto

[spaghettoid]

Is it possible to get a Pto or something that has the equivalent function using a motor to actuate it instead of a piston

[jacuzzi]

Yes it’s possible, however it kinda defeats a lot of the purpose of a PTO

If you still want to make a motor-driven PTO, here is one way to do it:

Welcome, to differentials…
Once upon a time, back in the ancient world of cortex (and introduction of V5), a legendary @Codec made a nice post about them:

Vex Differentials Explained

[Vex Differential Transmission Explained - Tower Takeover] This is the vex differential my team used this year. It has been developed to have very minimal losses compared to most implementations. It uses custom bearing blocks and a specific type of differential to allow for very minimal losses to friction while driving and tilting. If you are interested in learning even more here are some resources… Feel free to ask any questions or comment…

True, PTO’s (or power take-offs) are usually used to try and eliminate a motor or two from having to be used. For example, last year my team used a PTO in order to be able to have a six-motor drive and catapult in addition to a puncher.
