Re: Burning the FP's

Yeah, right now we are gonna use a two stage sprocket set up to gear it down. First will be about 2:1 second will be 4.5 to one. In addition to the FP gearbox. Thats...... somewhere in the vicinity of 1100:1. Then multiply nine times 40 foot pounds (the supposed torque of the FP motor) and our arm should theoretically have about as much torque as some cars.
