Motors.VEX.com - VEX Robotics DC Motor Testing
DC motor selection is an essential part of robot and mechanism design, but the sea of specifications and options available can sometimes be confusing. To help aid budding robot designers in understanding this relationship, VEX has developed an educational guide that explains the four key characteristics of DC motors and how they can be used to select the ideal motor for your application.
Furthermore, to ensure that users have the data needed to make such an educated selection, VEX has tested seven popular motors (including the new 775pro) using industry-standard methods and published motor curves, peak power tests, and locked rotor stall tests for all to see and analyze. Head to http://motors.vex.com/ and pick your favorite motor to get started!
VEX Merchandise Store
Believe it or not, this is actually one of our most-requested items. So, by popular demand, now anyone can pick up your own VEX “swag” in a variety of styles and designs! This is not exclusive to VEXpro, so if you’re a VEX EDR or VEX IQ fan this should be great news for you too. Take a look at http://www.vexrobotics.com/merchandise to pick out your next shirt (or hoodie, or track jacket, or iPad case…). We hope to update this store regularly, so check back often or let us know if there is anything you would like to see!
