How do you make a robot run faster?
Ideas to make robot go faster
- Power level. Another method to increase speed of robot is to make sure it’s motor is at the highest level possible.
- Gears. Use of gears can update the speed of the robot.
- Topic. Ideas to make robot go faster.
- Speed and Torque relationship.
- Wheels.
What is motor free speed?
The free speed RPM of a motor is relevant only as a reference measurement based on the amount of power being supplied to the motor. In general terms, the faster a motor runs at free speed the less torque or output power it will produce. These either limit the speed or power being produced.
What does power Expander do?
The Power Expander enables the user to spread a VEX robot’s motor load across two batteries, extending run time and increasing performance.
What does a VEX shaft encoder do?
The Optical Shaft encoder is used to measure both relative position of and rotational distance traveled by a shaft. It works by shining light onto the edge of a disk outfitted with evenly spaced slits around the circumference.
What does a VEX Motor do?
The 2-Wire Motor 393 is the primary actuator used in the VEX EDR. Build rotational mechanisms, drive bases, rotational joints, conveyor belts – anything that spins can be built using the 2-wire Motor 393.
What is VEX IQ?
VEX IQ is a programmable, snap-together, robotics system. Watch code come alive on a physical robot and learn key STEM skills that easily transition into the real world.
What does AC Block do in VEXcode VR?
Understanding Block Shapes and Meaning in VEXcode VR
| Block Shape | Description |
|---|---|
| C blocks | Loop the block(s) within them or check if a condition is true or false. They are shaped to attach stack blocks above, below, or inside them. |

What is vex code?
From elementary school through college, VEXcode is a coding environment that meets students at their level. The intuitive layout of VEXcode allows students to get started quickly and easily. VEXcode is consistent across Blocks and Text, across VEX 123, GO, IQ and V5.
How is motor RPM calculated?
How to Calculate Motor RPM. To calculate RPM for an AC induction motor, you multiply the frequency in Hertz (Hz) by 60 — for the number of seconds in a minute — by two for the negative and positive pulses in a cycle. You then divide by the number of poles the motor has: (Hz x 60 x 2) / number of poles = no-load RPM.
How is motor power calculated?
Power = (Force x Distance) / Time For electric motors, power or horsepower can be calculated from the torque and speed. For example, if you have a motor rated for 3,000 RPM and 6 in-lbf then the horsepower is calculated below.
What is Max stall current?
Stall current is the maximum current drawn1, when the motor is applying its maximum torque, either because it is being prevented from moving entirely or because it can no longer accelerate given the load it is under.
