Motor Selection
Our team is having a problem deciding on drive motors for our bot. Our design goal is to be able to accelerate the 130 lbs bot at 5ft/sec2 in 5sec. We would like to do this using the two CIM motors. We are planning on using the 9" wheels

There seems to be alot of information on using motors in lifting application but not in drive application. How do we calculate if this will work using the motor curves?

Thanks.
