  • čas přidán 3. 09. 2022
  • Here is the explanation. Enjoy.
    Keep in mind, this is for teams without access to high-end machinery or large amounts of time. This method is definitely not the best way to do it, but we found it was reliable enough for everyday use.
    It was also very easy to make, perfect for teams on a time crunch or teams who don't want to spend a lot of time making 3600 rpm mounts.

    I did this after seeing a team from my group use it but I just pressed an axle extender into a piece of plastic tube that was drilled to the diameter of the motor spline and fit it on by warming the plastic a little, setting it and letting it cool off which worked great!

Sorry for that. When I attached that motor to the low strength axle gear, the flywheel does not move which means there is no torque. Should I change the flywheel axle to a low strength axle? Will that fix it? Or should I directly put the motor to the flywheel?

      The best bet is to check alignment of bearing flats, and making sure that all axles spin freely by hand.
      This will ensure that your 60:12 gear ratio will have enough torque to spin the flywheel.

      Much more efficient friction and power wise, probably spins up faster although I can’t say for sure. 3600 rpm is very convenient because the next highest possible ratio (3600 rpm is somewhere inbetween 5:1 and 6:1) is not possible for the motor to reach very easily but 3600 rpm works. Still don’t know if it’s worth doing this to your poor motors but idk.
