Getting More Power out of DDT Burst Motors
« on: February 23, 2010, 04:32:49 PM »
I'm working on a robot that looks like a big crab and it has these arms which I desire to use in a sort of crushing action with axes or any other of my favorite blades on the ends.

I know that spin motors can be stacked to gain more power, plus the addition of batteries, but is there a way to get more power out of the burst motors besides adding more batteries?

Running two DDT bursts with 4 Supervolt batteries and as many pink ones as I can fit.

Thanks.

Your best bet is custom motors. Thoses DDTs are adequately powered by the Supervolts alone, any more and it's just being wasteful.

There's only so much you  can do with a motor, especially balanced ones.

use the DDT from the Beetle bros pack which is a cheat part and won't get accepted into any tournament. :)
Fixed.

DSL with dual side-mounted hammer betas will pretty much beat anything.
Avoid the beam and you won't get hit!

Thanks, I'll go with the Beetle pack since I'm not planning on playing online any time soon.

I'll try DSL again at some point.  It really blew my mind when I first tried it.
