2 speed 900's or 4 drill motors?

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

But, for a rammer, would it be strong enough?

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

yes.
stronger than drills

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

Yes they will be and you're building a lifter, reference old Style SMIDSY, which used Jaguar actuators, so not just a rammer, but a lifter rammer

Names for a FW smidsy?

Even four drills can make a decent rambot, more so if you over-volt them a bit. But the build quality of the GR01s is considerably better (in my opinion) to bog-standard drills, so they'd be more suited to a rambot.

Speed 900s would be more reliable still, but you would have to sort out some form of gearing obviously.

CYSM - 'Cos You're So Miniscule.

SMIDSY CYSM

You can't say that to a biker either.

Perfect ceri, and so smidsy cysm has been born, work shall start after whitwick on it and should Hopfully be ready for the champs, screw a spinner, that can wait till next year

SMIDSY CYSM

I can't quite tell if that's a robot name or a generic Welsh phrase

Don't be stupid. In Welsh, there would be at least 2 W's

That reminds me, I had thought train about the shortest, hardest to pronounce welsh word to name a robot. Managed 3 letters with Llwch.Beautiful

Gimsons look good, but don't knock drills. In it's heyday Prodigy ran 4 drills on 75mm blue wheels and was as reliable as anything If I can actually find/afford a ESC that can handle 4 motors I will most definitely be bringing it back.

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

I'll try and get it ready for the champs but I'll probably end up doing it for the HW champs, may even get ant smidsy for then aswell, are all going to try and be as similar as possible

Probably end up using 4 drill motors due to cost and ease of purchase for me but over volt them and 30a esc's on each wheel should solve that problem

[harry hills]

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

a 30a per side you mean?

[Ellis]

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

I run 12v drills, 4 of 'em, 100mm blue wheels, overvolted to 18v, 30a Electronize ESCs on each side. I don't have any other machines to compare by but even with just 8kg behind it for grip, it's a beast. Definitely superior enough to make an effective pusher. Does about 10mph too.

Cysm? ... How you pronouncing that? Sounds like love wee to me. :shock:

[typhoon_driver]

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

I would assume it would be pronounced Si-zum. How did you get semen from that?
