Re: Stalling the BaneBot 775 motors

The power draw would be less than what was calculated before, as he said 20-40% of stall torque, which would mean the voltage is lower as well.

Assuming 20%, that is 17 Amps @ 2.4V, which works our to 40W.

Not as bad a number, but far less than we plan on drawing; Getting that down to just 10% of stall torque bumps you to 10W, a much nicer number.
