Tractor Pull

It was an investigation that the robot is pushing the weight as heavy as poosible for more than 50 cm within a minute. So, rather than the speed, the power which the robot is pulling the weight was more important. In the previous investigation (drag race), biggest gear was connected to the driving gear in order to enlarge the speed, however, contrastly, this time we connected biggest gear to the driven gear. so that the power of the robot would be much stronger although the speed of the robot would be decreased.
During the class time, we used 4 gears to increase the power, but ironically, we found that it wasn't so effective. moreover, it was worse than the robot which used only 2 gears.
