The motors for the make ahead event are on there way! We expect them to arrive any day (they are at US Customs). When they arrive, we will post it on the blog and registered teams will also be notified. Thank-you for being patient.
Once the motors are in, they will be left at our Front of House with registered team name attached. We will email the team's supporting teacher with the details.
Question: What type of motor is it?
We have ordered:
Tamiya RC 540 Motor (Part #7435043)
You can buy them at hobby shops such as PM Hobby Craft
Question: Are you supplying a motor or a generator?
We are supplying a motor but it will be 'acting' as a generator. Mechanical energy from the turbine you build will be converted to electrical energy that we will then measure.
