Outdoor Motors
Hey! I'm a member of a high school robotics team in Tallahassee, FL, and we were wondering if anyone has experience with outdoor motors.

We are building a weeding robot for the Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam competition.
One of the goals of this project is to be able to weed for at least 18 hours every day. Therefore, the drive motors need to run for hours on end and handle water and dirt. In addition, our calculations show that drive motors needs to have at least 6 N-m or torque and spin at about 30 rpm.

As of right now, we're not sure where to look for these motors- we haven't had much luck searching online. Do you have any advice on where to start looking, and what exactly to look for?

We really appreciate it!
