Re: Need advice on motors, gearboxes, and ESCs
Well, it's a new semester and we're ready to buy this stuff for our robot!

Here's our shopping list so far:

Motor:
2 x Mini CIM Motor
2 x 12t CIM Motor Gear with Mounting Hardware (these are needed, right?)

Gearbox:
2 x VersaPlanetary Gearbox
  • Base VersaPlanetary 1:1 with 1/2" Hex Output
  • VersaPlanetary 10:1 Gear Kit with Ring Gear
2 x VersaHubs
  • VersaHub (1/2" Hex)

Wheel:
4 x 2008 FIRST Wheel w/ 1/2" Bearings (am-0148)

ESC:
2 x Victor 888 Motor Controller
1 x 3-Wire Extension Cable 36" (4-pack)

How does that look?

Does anyone know if we need any additional hardware to get everything (such as the gearboxes and wheels) connected together?
