Re: how do u figure out the torque req'd to move a robot?
thanks.... i figured it would probably be quite complex...
I wanted to know because i designed a transmission and "it looks about right" however i did not know if the torque it supplies would be sufficient to move a robot... i guess the torque req'd to actually move it changes based on the speed the bot is currently moving at.... etc etc... but the torque figures i calculated for the output of the tranny seem irrelevent with out a "required torque " or something like that.... i'm guessing it will work since our older trannys worked w/ appx the same amount of torque etc... (those were designed guess & Check )
