3 motor drive huh, pulling an 8686

3m H drive

@@meepmeepme if u want to strafe use mecanum...h-drive takes space for tilter

[@meepmeepme]

@@mihirshaik1203 that's true but in my case the motor and increased wheel size would take more space in the chassis. I running 3m drive anyways. Thanks for the suggestion though

[@bbrady2430]

Can you put another stack on one you have already placed?

[@meepmeepme]

Unfortunately no. Maybe that will change in future iterations.

[@cooolbeeenz5438]

You could try it with a dr6b to get the extra height but I’m not sure if it would be enough

[@meepmeepme]

@@cooolbeeenz5438 height isnt an issue, moreso clearance and stability

[@justinfrerich8132]

@@meepmeepme we've found that using the couplers on joints helps with stability

What are the controls of your h base? Like which axis or buttons do you use?

[@TheSeasEnd]

How did you keep the gears on the lift part of the DR4B from bending?

[@Glaciace]

bearing blocks

[@meepmeepme]

@@Glaciace they bent. I suggest using high strength lock bars from robosource.com

[@Glaciace]

Ian Talbert never had it happen to me

[@derek1511]

the rubber band seems to be broken

[@thomasdang2923]

Did the drive ever give you guys any problems. Like burning out or anything?

[@meepmeepme]

Nope, but the acceleration was slightly worse than I'm used to. Maybe 25% more acceleration compared to 4m drive which has instant acceleration

[@popas968]

what is the ratio the motors set to on the lift, 100rpm(red)?

[@meepmeepme]

1:7 100rpm

o yeah its rabbit but Japanese

[@rizzurpa6729]

chunky

[@meepmeepme]

not as thicc as last year but 28 wide is definitely too thick to score in corners

[@meepmeepme]

too thicc to have two stacks in the wide zone
