Re: Who's done the math?
You guys need to check your assumptions. For example 50kg is only a 110 lb robot. I think a robot with battey and bumpers will be closer to 150 lbs or 68 kg. For a four wheel chassis with weight equally distributed each wheel would exert 2.25 lb (150x0.06/4) before breaking free. That equates to 0.56 ft-lbs or 108 oz-in of torque.
