Hi,
I come to you I want to make a cardboard R2D2 robot. To make it, I need 2 DC motors controled with Arduino.
I’m thinking about 2 Pololu 250:1 (RB-Pol-63) with Pololu Wheels 90 x 10mm (RB-Pol-122).
The height of the robot would be 70 cm and the weight is about 5 kg.
Do you think that this motors/wheels are good to my robot ?
Best regards,
Quentin.
Hi,
You can use this Drive Motor Sizing Tool that provides you an idea on the torque you will need per motor based on information like the total mass of the robot, number of drive motors, radius of the drive wheel, etc.
Also note that you will need Dual DC Motor Driver able to control two of your motors separately. You can take a look at our DC Motor Controllers here.
This article will be of great use to help you choose your motor controller.
