Jan 19, 2023 · 6 wheel drives allow for better traction (and more power if using 6 motors) but need much more space. 4 wheel drives, on the other hand, are simple and easy to build, but they sacrifice either traction or a centered turning point.

Dec 4, 2024 · So I am part of a new team and I am trying to create a 6 motor drive train for our new bot but every time I configure it in the VEXcode V5 site it gets rid of the other two motors after I configure something else like pneumatics it set it back to a four motor which I started it as but configured it to a 6 motor. I don’t know if its the site or if I’m doing something wrong so I’m …

Sep 23, 2011 · Go to it. It is the guide to 6 bar (or extended 4 bar depending on your terminology) and the AURA website is very nice. As for building a 6 bar: Our team took our first dive into building on also and it really is quite simple. It is very similar to building two 4-bar lifts stacked on top of each other, connected by a vertical bar.

Jul 20, 2011 · In VEX it is a little harder to get the drop needed without affecting everything else on the robot. So this year I’m trying something new, a Simbotics style, raised back wheel drive-train. It’s a 6wd, with all 2.75 traction wheels, but the back wheel is just raised a whole.

Nov 10, 2021 · We have been wanting to implement a 6 motor drivetrain for a long time but have been lacking the knowledge to carry it out. Normally we would just set up the drivetrain by using the configuration tab but there is no base configuration for a six motor drivetrain.

May 25, 2024 · Our team has been having some major problems with a more offensive 6 motor drive and was wondering if anyone could help because it is beyond our capacity to fix. Specs 600rpm to a 1.5 gear ratio (36-42 or around there) on eight 2.75 in wheels. Problems We have been having overheating issues and are wondering if this is a common problem or could it be …

Nov 20, 2022 · Due to frequent questions and discussions on drive speeds, but not a lot of resources on the layouts of the possible gearings themselves, I’ve created this resource for people to see a catalogue of drive speeds that I’ve deemed as viable, and some commentary on each layout. All drives shown here are on 6 motors, and all drives here are compatible with …

Dec 10, 2023 · I was wondering if it was possible to make a 6 motor drive train code where 1 joystick controls the forward and backwards movement while another controls the turning. jpearman December 10, 2023, 3:56am

Dec 15, 2023 · VEX Robotics Competition Discussion. B5318 December 15, 2023, 4:47am 1. I have seen motors on a drivetrain ...

Jan 4, 2025 · 2011 post 2020 discussion My idea for the 6-motor Lynfield is to have a 4 omni-wheel tank drive with 2 omni-wheels perpendicular to the tank drive in the back for strafing. 4 motors power the tank drive and 2 motors power the strafing wheels. Basically the original but with 2 extra motors and 2 extra wheels, all for forwards movement. With good programming …
