Motors

DCM_1 from roboticsConnection.com

  • 12V
  • 130 mA
  • 175 rmp no load
  • Grear redution 1:40
  • Quadrature Encoder
  • 480 pulses per output shaft revolution (I don't think this is correct)
  • 6 mm shaft

Tests

Rotations Seconds RPM

50 18.4 163
40 14.5 165
25 9.3 161
Average 160 (roughly)

Wheels

  • 105 mm wheel from an old Vex kit =>
    • 330 mm circumference
  • 330 mm/rev * 160 rev/min =>
    • 53 m/min or 0.9 m/sec
    • 53 m/min / 1610 m/mile * 60 min/hr => 2.0 mph
  • Wheeled Platforms "... 1 m/sec is pretty fast for indoor robots."
  • Take-away - This is one of the reasons this configuration is hard to control.
