Re: Drive Sizing 101

1.) FP has a Torque of 0.45 Nm, which is equal to 3.982 in*lbs.

Code:
3.982 in*lbs x 1,500(gear ratio) = 5,973 in*lbs
Code:
5,973 in*lbs / 150 lbs (weight of Robot) = 39.82 inches
Code:
15,600 RPM / 1,500 (gear ratio) = 10.4 RPM
Code:
10.4 RPM / 60 seconds = 0.173 RPS
Code:
0.173 RPS * 5 Seconds = 0.867 of a Revolution = 312 degrees
2.) 30-36" Four-Bar-Linkage Arm (assuming you have a ratcheting mechanism to prevent you from slipping)

That is my guess.
