Im thinking…
Well Im thinkin it should be under 3 pounds but just to be safe 5lbs. I am planning on using this for base material-http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-WCC-SAMP1.html
Wheels are plastic and rubber of course but will not be that big. If you need anyother information just ask please thanks
Ya no
Ya no I dont plan on going that big I just want to make one for fun. Not really planning on competions just wanting to get involved and learn stuff. I plan on 5lbs or less
Robot Battle
In this corner weighing in at 90 bounds… WALTER!! Designed by Chris the Carpentner, with a niffty Transmittor. In the other corner, weighing in at a unknown weight for the time. Makeitcool’s BATTLE BOT, which we have little clue about, but would like to know more about.
Oh would I like to see that.
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-BHG31.html Says 3-10 pounds
There are a few others if you look that say 5-12 pounds.
Instead how bout you…
Instead of acting smart why dont you just ask what you need to know. I am all for it. Unless you ask I dont know what you need. Thanks.
Ok lets go back to the start
Ok I know I can get better motors and so on but lets go back to what I said earlier. Will my motor and BEC work for what I want? thanks for all your help patrick
A BEC is just a voltage
A BEC is just a voltage regulator. RC people use them to supply 5v to their RC receiver and servos. What kind of motor controller are you going to be using. A brushed ESC or some other controller? What battery will you be using?
As Patrick said, those
As Patrick said, those motors would be for a smaller robot.
Regarding the BEC, you don’t necessarily need one, but you do need some sort of power for your motors and electronics. The BEC you linked provides 5A @ 5V. Your two motors have a stall current (maximum load) of 1.6A each. So the BEC would certainly work, but might be overkill.
Check out OddBot’s post on voltage regulators, which may be a lot less expensive. You need to determine what the overall load of your robot (power for motors, servos, electronics, etc.), so you can design or buy the appropriate power source.
im using
Well im thinking- http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-DTXC2010.html, Bec -http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-DYS30055.html, So would I need a ESC- Speed controller or not? I have a reciever -http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-GWR6NIIH.html that i am using on other projects for the motor controller. I hope that answers your question but ask me and tell me anything
OH ok
oh ok so I might not need a BEC? I have a 6 or 7.2 battery at the moment for the reciever power and like 3 servos on one project but I wouldnt use them here. Ill try to get everything I would have on there asap
haha ya
ya i just need to learn how to find that in my head. i have a problem with that
First off a reciever is not
First off a reciever is not a motor controller. The receiver is what sends signals to the ESC. So you still need a motor controller.
You could use that battery to power the motors with a correct ESC or something else. The BEC would be used as a voltage regulator to power the receiver, if the ESC does not have one built in, and any other electronics considering they do not draw more amps than it can supply and run on 5v.
Sorry this just confused me…
What is ESC again? I just don’t get that right now.
What id have
Reciever -http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-GWR6NIIH.html
two motors (this one is pretty close)- http://robotcombat.com/products/0-PL994.html
So am I forgetting anything?
so this might work
would this be a motor controler? sorry for my lack of knowledge- http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-GPMM2025.html and that would be a bec and esc right?
Lets start fresh
So if I had a reciever - http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-GWR6NIIH.html
two motors- http://robotcombat.com/products/0-PL994.html
and a battery- close to mine or close enough -http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-DTXC2010.html
and a esc-http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-GPMM2025.html
would this all work for what i want? With a 2lb max load on motors?
Super cheap
This ESC is super cheap. Found it from a old post on LMR from Ro-Bot-X.
