Re: Minibot Gearbox

Good question... probably could estimate using a gear box efficiency of .5 to .6
It has a 52 :1 gearing and could assume .95% per 5:1 ratio factor.

This seems to be good thread to also get gear_box data.

Anyone weighed a gear_box or have the motor weight w/o box?

Also, what is the gear configuration inside it?
