We have problems parking with 2 mogos. we simply stall out as if the drive train doesn’t have enough power. The bot is 17 lbs, and has 8 motor drive diirect 600 rpm with 2.75 wheels. the drive has low friction.

We changed the drive to 450 rpm and now it can park with six mogos

[image] trollface.png1: The bot is 17 lbs 17 pounds seems like a lot for a 600rpm direct drive, even with 8 motors. Are you getting this weight with the robot by itself or does 17 pounds include the goals?

I think you know how to solve your own issue. Reduce the weight, or make your drive slower. 8 motor 600rpm is fast, but has a low amount of torque.

Like people before me have said, If your bot is 17 pounds with goals, you must be excellent at weight reduction but at that point your bigger worries would be breaking your robot at the slightest collision. If your robot is 17 pounds without goals, the extra weight from them is definitely going to p…

I’ve heard that it has the same torque as 360rpm with 6 motors on 3.25 in wheels

[image] trollface.png1: I’ve heard that it has the same torque as 360rpm with 6 motors on 3.25 in wheels This is about true. It’s also about the same torque as 4 motor direct drive 200 on 4" wheels.

from my experience you shouldn’t be having issues. i’ve parked with two goals on 6m 600 being about 16 pounds? pics/vids would help a lot.

8m 600 should have more than enough torque to climb with 2 mogos. It’ll be good if you can provide some images of your robot. I am guessing that weight distribution might be the problem.

8 motor drive? Wow. You’ve accomplished my dreams. Take off as much of the robot as you can with as little screws as possible, like our lift system was held up by 4 standoffs, and we took it off once for testing. If you can’t then idk you’ll have to post a video.
