Re: Robot climbing times

If we assume that the 4 seconds is a goal:
150 Lb robot = 667 N
60 Inch=1.5 meters estimated change in CG height
Time = 4 sec
667N*1.5m/4 sec = 250 Watts.

Assuming 50-75% efficient mechanism your power draw would be:
333-500 Watts.
That is a lot of power draw, but not unheard of.
