Running 200rom because my teams doing a x-drive

3

480 on either 3.25 or 4 inch wheels

4

My team won’t actually get together to start the season until November, so this is just me daydreaming and not finalized at all. I would like to run 467 rpm on 2.75" omni’s because I think it’s a little on the faster side, but not too much, so we’ll still have plenty of pushing power to shove opponents around.

5

I wouldn’t say that isn’t insanely fast. You could go faster if you wanted
Also, How are you getting that ratio?

6

Probably 450 rpm on 2.75 in good acceleration and pretty fast

7

We will most likely run 450 on 3.25" wheels or 343 on 4" wheels

8

360 on 3.25’s been our ratio for all of last season, and it served us pretty well.

9

I would use 3.25 inch, lower center of gravity.
(Or 2.75 if you have them)

10

450 rpm 6 motor x drive. I haven’t decided if I want 2.75 in or 3.25 in wheels yet though

11

Running 2.75 inch 6 motor 600 rpm because its a good drive speed similar to 450 or 480 on 3.25 but running direct drive on the smallest wheels saves so much space.

12

3:7 with green motor cartridges (200 rpm). Not the most compact by any means, but that’s not a problem and if it will be that’s an issue for future me.

13

Please, please do 2.75. You already get +41% speed and 450 2.75 already doesn’t have any power

14

That’s not a very good way to think about your drivetrain…I would create something that will be future proof now instead of rebuilding later.
Also, gearing up a drivetrain isn’t the best idea…I would research other drivetrains. There are much better drivetrains. @9MotorGang has a great drivetrain ranking video.

15

200 because we don’t have any wheels under 4"

16

How are people doing 600!?? With the weight of the robots because of mogos 450 will be the best in my opinion. Not to mention tipping because of such high center of masses.

17

its because of space and its honestly not terrible

18

Anyone have an Idea on how I can create a drivetrain with only 4 inch wheels and 200rpm motors. I want to use screw joints on the wheels but any gear ratio is either too fast/slow or too big/small

19

you can’t use screw joints effectively with no gear ratio… unless you are direct driving multiple wheels together

I’m doing 450 fast and doesn’t overheat and still controllable
