Seems I saw such a posting, possibly by Dr. Joe, last Friday 1/19. I could not find it today.
Anyone else saw it and know where to find it?

if i am right, you're probably referring to an excel file that can also be found in the whitepages under Joe's Motor powerpoint presentation.

also, go to www.innovationfirst.com. they have some nice facts, graphs, and charts on motor torque reqs.. it should be under the WHITE PAPERS section.

good luck.

Beside just the excel file, you also want to look at the two presentation about motors by Joe and Mike. Those are great help about the magic behind motors, and sometimes it's good to just understand what's happening with motors, instead of looking at raw numbers... And if you really want to look at numbers, the spec of the motors should be included in the Rule book, or you can download the documents from www.usfirst.org For me, those presentation really helped me understand a great deal about those little spinning things that make our robot move, and just looking at numbers never really make sense for me.
