Re: CIM + Banebots P60 Gearbox

I was actually planning on doing that. I just was wondering how much the step up to CIMs would cost.

Two quick things:
1. Would it be a good idea to just use sprocket and chain instead of gearing? It IS cheaper...

2. What's the best motor selection/gearing selection process? I've tried working out the physics, and I have some guesses as to what will work, but I'm just not sure.
