What motors do you use to drive your robot?

Competition and inspiration go hand in hand. Those who inspire will be pushed to do it again and again by those who see this as a healthy competition. Those who are inspired will compete to be an inspiration to others. You can have your cake (competition) and eat it (inspire) too. - Andy Baker [more]

Re: What motors do you use to drive your robot?

We used the Atwoods last year with our two speed transmission and they seemed to work just fine. We are probably going to end up using them again. We had them geared just right and they gave us the power to push anyone we wanted around in low gear running at 4fps. Even in high gear we were able to push a lot of the competition around at 10fps. No problems with overheating. In years past we did use the drill motors and they were effective.
