Re: Conveyor belt motor

It all depends on the design.

We have a Conveyor Belt that also serves double duty as our Hopper and Scoring Device. Because of this we needed a lot of speed so we went with a Cim Through a Banebots Transmission.

If your Conveyor Belt is feeding a Hopped or another mechanism I'd use a Window Motor or FisherPrice with KOP Gearbox. Bot of them have decent speed and plenty of power.
