DC motor selection for 6kg robot

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

Just need a hand with selecting possible DC motors for a robot I am making, any information/advice is greatly appreciated. The motor will be used to rotate an axle of which wheels are attached. The approximate weight of the robot will be 6 kg (maximum) and is required to move a reasonable speed as a multistage task (moving 2m) is to be performed in under 60 seconds (however time of completion is to be minimised).

Cheers for any assistance.

Hey @Aeddan

I suggest you to use the Motor Sizing Tool to verify what would be your motor needs in terms of voltage, torque and current:

You can find the tutorial for the tool here:
