Re: Gear Ratio help....plZ..someone???

* Thanks Rob Colatutto for the speed calculation equation. And yeah....how exactly can you find the Wheel RPM??

* Matt Adams
Here are the answers to your question:
- We are using Drill Motors
- 2 12” and 4 10” wheels will be powered
- Skyway rubber wheelchair wheels
- The final robot weight is roughly about (or will be) 130 lbs
- Speed we would like to achieve is around 6-7 ft/sec.

Thanks Again Matt Adams

* Dick Linn>>thanks for your advice, we appreciate it.

* Greg Needel>> the link to your drive train calculator doesn’t work for some reason, but thanks anyways.
