2 speed 900's or 4 drill motors?

[mattsdragons]

I'm planning a FW smidsy but am unsure as to if I should stick with 4 drill motors at 18v or use 2 speed 900's?

Trying to make it more like the RW smidy with the lifting scoop but I doubt I'll run it with a disk unless someone can make disks that small, yet would probably be so small that it would be ineffective

It's main thing with it being a FW smidsy is it being a good rammer, so I just can't decide which would be beast too use, one motor per wheel but weaker, or 2 motors for 4 wheels but are stronger motors

if i was to make a rammer (BORING BOX) ups i would use 4 speed 900s

Boring box WITH A LIFTER!

It's probably one of the only big EW bots not made FW, trying to make a FW and ant version of it (eventually)

Gimsons all the way
with a 100mm actuator also a gimson

also there wheels a SMIDSY esk, make it small and make it in metal, O and get the dude who owns SMIDSY to measure it so you get the proportions right

http://www.gimsonrobotics.co.uk/GR01_pl ... motor.html bargain at £25.90 each

http://www.gimsonrobotics.co.uk/GR01_pl ... motor.html you wont look back

Re: 2 speed 900's or 4 drill motors?

What you need is reliability, if a Gimson messes up simply take it out unscrew the wheel and slap another in

Re: 2 speed 900's or 4 drill motors?

Haha, it's scary how I own a big spinny thing, bust turned it into a big rammy thing and will make it into a big lifty thing

So the view seems to be 4 gimson's?
