Re: Anybody have extra throttle motors in the Bay Area?

@asid61 great, let me know if you can and I'd be happy to drive over at a time that works for you. Thinking 4-6 motors per chassis, not sure how heavy they'll be yet (we're still in early-ish planning) but the drivetrains will be max 24" x 24" because that's the longest side of our laser bed. They'll also be made out of 1/4" plywood, and we'll be getting some lithium batteries. So not super heavy in other words. We're going to make some gearboxes out of plastic, probably acrylic, to gear them down. We don't know how many new students we're going to have yet, so that will dictate how many drivetrains will be built.

Thanks!
Matthew
