Re: Minibot motors

The motors will smoke because your axle is far far too large: you are not gearing correctly for the torque of the motors. It also looks like you're trying to run square shaft through a round bushing, which isn't good at all friction wise.

Round shafts through those bushings with a much smaller OD.
