Hello, I have seen on YouTube that most equipment uses a reduction transmission with blue cartridges (as can be seen in this video and this other one ). I am a newbie to this transmission thing and I can’t see the logic, other teams have recommended that I not do it because I will burn out the engi…

[image] Kokin: after a few minutes they burn out and become useless. I think I know what the problem might be. If you use a geartrain, to slow down your blue cartriges (36:60 or 36:84 for example) your motors will be fine. Another reason these teams might have had bad experiences is because …

Most teams usually gear down from blue cartridges because blue cartridges have slightly less friction and slop. This is because inside the motors, the small white gear you see which goes inside of the cartridge actually spins at 3600 rpm, and the cartridges all gear it down to 600, 200, and 100 rpm.…

Thank you for telling us this, but I am confused about what you are asking. Are you asking someone to explain drive gearings to you? If so, there are SOOO many posts with people asking a similar question. Search “Drive Gearing” on the forums and there are a ton of resources and answered questions. I…

Hello, sorry if the question could have been misinterpreted. But I really tried using the designs in the aforementioned videos with green cartridges and they were really slow. I wanted to put the blue torques but many local teams tell me that after a few minutes they burn out and become useless.

So assuming the transmission is (84T-36T-84T-36T-84T) and I put two motors in the 36T gears on both sides, should it work? :thinking:

Yes, it should! That is a popular ratio just make sure you use 4.25 or 4 inch wheels. Good luck with your robot!
