Our team was wondering if we should use the cortex based system instead of the vs, due to the max amount of motors that you can use. Just wondering what other teams are going to use and why.
The V5 motors are way better. And I mean way better. V5 is going to blow the Cortex away
I worry about PTC tripping if a Cortex goes up against a V5 for the center parking bonus.
Meanwhile, the 8-motor limit doesn’t seem so bad. 2 V5 motors on the drive are probably better than 4 393s. And that leaves 6 V5 motors v. 8 393s for the rest. Being able to use fewer V5 motors for a lift or similar should make up the remaining difference, leaving the V5s ahead in power and equal in utility. And then you get to use the camera, too.
If we had to build some arms with lots of degrees of freedom so it could do some really fancy manipulation of lightweight objects, then the 12 393s would be my choice. But short of something like that, I think the V5 will blow the Cortex away.
that’s true. thank you callen.
