In the case where your high load is leaking power by turning the shaft of the non-powered motor, this motor is generating power for you! Maybe you can capture some of it by using rechargeable batteries and implement an on-board charging system and/or regenerative braking!Dave Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607231228225523005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548766831424877039.post-51215735779256380102009-10-07T09:35:47.450-07:002009-10-07T09:35:47.450-07:00If you want to 'robotize' (or NXTify :D) y...If you want to 'robotize' (or NXTify :D) your construction you will also have to keep in mind that 2XL motors may run fine on a single battery pack, but they draw more current than the IR receiver will provide for safety reasons!<br /><br />I found this to be quite a problem when I built an IR controlled race car using 2 XL motors for driving and an M motor for steering. I'm still working on a solution which may entail using a second IR receiver.Jetrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905559777196564574noreply@blogger.com
