Re: Possible to extend output shaft on WCP Gearbox?
If you run those calculations with the kit drive train pulley sizes and wheel diameters, does a 9mm or 15mm belt meet the strength requirements? Is pulley size the only way to get a drive system from failing?

What happens if all the weight of the robot rocks on two wheels? What happens if all the weight of the robot rocks on one wheel?
