Question Motor that can be dropped off a building.
Has anyone ever run across a motor that is about the same size as the banebots 28mm 20:1 gearmotor that can basically be dropped off of a cliff and still work? I have been looking around at Maxon, MicroMo, and a couple others but I havn't found anything that seems extraordinarily satifying.
I need a gearmotor that can fit in a 1.25"(32mm) space and can't be longer than 2.9" (72mm) not including the shaft. Price isn't really an issue for this project either. Im going to be running this rig on 16.5 volts (the new A123 Lithium cells are amazing by the way) so I'll probably be overvolting a 12 volt motor.
I just really don't trust those banebot transmissions anymore.
Thanks
