I would like to recomend a book but one that may get me into trouble. I would probably buy Build Your Own Combat Robot by Pete Miles and Tom Carroll. It's got everything you ever wanted to know about building drivetrains, motor equations, batteries. It really does make a handy refernce book. It also explains why things act the way they do. Btw hear is a power question not related to robotics. How did watt figure out how much power is in a horse?? My physics teacher didn't tell me  .
