Thanks  . I thought for a second I was going nuts or that our robot was actually defying the laws of physics.

But you use more than one motor, usually...correct?

Errr I thought that is if you combine two motors for each side of the drivetrain thus giving the combined power of both.

The torque available from the wheels will fully depend on the Gear Ratio and the diameter of the wheel. So yes the robot should move even if it is very very heavy if the motors are geared down low enough

I knew that but logic would dictate that the robot wouldn't move if your power at the wheels is less than the robots weight. The problem wasn't the fact that my math wasn't correct but it was that the motors wern't the right one.

The fact the FIRST knows no boundaries, either geographic or cultural, is certainly one of our strongest assets as we move toward a changed culture. - Rich Kressly [more]
