Then you could design a boost regulator for the motor, but that is not such an easy thing to do. Also, you will need some type of speed controller for the motor, unless your plan is to just apply 36V from the get-go and let it rip. I am also confused thought, because I don't get if it is a battery race or a solar power race. It seems like for a 300m race, it would be best to just drain the batteries as fast as possible and cross the finish line first. | |

Do you or anyone else for that matter, know of any other ways to satisfy the conditions of the competition and possibly boost my voltage from the batteries? It doesn’t have to be efficient the race is only 300m so any ideas are welcome. | |
