Tower Takeover Robot motor usage

gotta have that 6m 300 RPM drive. an 8m pushbot would honestly be decent at tower takeover, defense is so op.

I use 4m drive, 2m intake, 1m tilter, 1m lift, pretty standard stuff.

4 motor drive, 2 motor tilter, 2 motor arm, 2 motor intake

I see many people using Holonomic drive. I opt for mecanum here. You can make it run the same way as x drive, going in all directions. You get more force if you go forwards making shoving easier, and you canā€™t get shoved from the side like omni. The wheels are a little wider but x drive needs to go at 45 degrees.

Itā€™s a lot because I currently just donā€™t have a lot of time for vex and six motor drive is a simple but good use of motors

25

is that cortex or v5? I assume cortex w 10 motors. If so, you might want to go with a 6m drive geared up bc those motors are slow.

V5 20 characters. 20

6 motor drive 2 motor tilter 2 motor arm all sharing 6 motors and a 2motor intake

R u gonna do a reveal?

We havenā€™t done a reveal before but we plan to this year, though Iā€™m not sure when.

when you say motor sharing do you mean this Differential transmission - power takeoff from the drivetrain motors? We attempted to use it with a RD6B, but we gave up.
4 wheel drive, 2 RD6B, 1 claw, and 1 unknown

Yes we are using differential transmissions to motor share. Although you could use a differential transmission for a dr6b, it would not be as stable. On our robot we only are using the differentials to power simple things.
