Title: fast motor
Post by: eishiba on January 19, 2009, 03:48:13 PM: I have the dsl package with all the advanced stuff for ra2. Which drive motor would be best to get as much speed as possible for a two wheeled robot?

Could you even READ the damn component descriptions? It clearly states that the Drive E-Tek is the most powerful drive motor.

I did read it and I'm sorry. I didn't think it was a drive motor because if you want to make a four wheeled robot, rectangular shaped and facing long ways and the wheels at the corners of each robot. You can put one motor however you want, but unless there is a way to flip the motor over, when you go to add a second on to the mirroring side, its...uneven. I don't know how to describe it but alot of motors have a "left" and "right" like the npc-t64 motor or "standard"and "reverse" like the reverse angle motor, options but the e tek doesn't. For this motor one would have to move the wheels more towards the middle of the robot to keep them even on opposing sides.

I don't know aobut grey bolts but clicking the green things helps mount it differently. Sorry to be a pain. I only have the cd, no instructions and for some reason the tutorials don't work, says there is an error.

Get Sage's Full DSL, link in my sig - it is installed properly and you will have the tuto's on there.
