Yeah I know that I really did this quickly. All I found is that the maximum force the robot would produce if the thing was stalled which is the maximum force that youll get out of that thing ever. Which is why I started worrying when my math started getting the maximum stall force lower than our robots weight which would mean it wouldn't move right??? Thank you for the equations. I printed them out.  Doh..... I made a booboo. Ft pounds is the wheels radius but the radius was six inches. I think I have it 334 pounds of force at the situation where the motor is stalled. Oddly enough we had problems destroying the gearbox of our motors last year. The mounts would strip clear of our robot.
