Following Dr. Joe's example , this set up should provide 34,780 Oz-in. of stall torque at about 35 RMP.
With 180 Lb-Ft of torque, lifting a robot is an easy proposition.

[Kevin Sevcik]

Definitely makes for easy lifting if potentially... sedate. Given that a 153:1 gear down leaves your end effector turning at about 35 RPM. At 2 seconds per revolution, one would hope you're not planning on needing more than one revolution to complete a lift....

Where do you get the dewalt transmissions? Do you have to buy a whole drill?

You do not have to buy the whole drill. Dewalt parts can be purchased here:
http://www.dewaltservicenet.com/Products/DocumentView.aspx?productid=75463&typeId=19037&doc umentId=37924

You will need items 42 (outer case) and 61 (transmission assy) to get this to work. Follow the instructions in the Nothing But Dewalts whitepaper:

Total cost for the transmission parts is $122.95. I have seen it cheaper elsewhere in the past though.

We've somehow found a source for $55 DeWalt drills (the whole thing minus the batteries). I think. I'll ask our mentor tomorrow if you'd like.

Remember guys, power equals work over time. Losses neglected, any motor can move any load, it's just a matter of time.

daltore, Yes if you could find a better price that would be great.
Thanks
