Thanks.
I think that this would be a great problem to work out for all teams to see. Please answer the following questions for me, and I'll go through all of the information you need.


Which motor are you using?
How many wheels will be powered?
What wheels are you planning on using? (Both size and material)
What will the weight of your final robot be?
What speed would you like to achieve?

When you answer those questions, I'll run through the math for you (and everyone) to see.

I'll also make a shameless plug for John's whitepaper that can truly take a lot of the math out of the equation.

Matt
