Motors

How do you choose motors for something like https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/87 ?

I’ve bought two motors (no gearbox, just motors), hooked them up and expected it all to be a little bit “nervous”. However, they can’t move even that little thing, only can spin in the air.

So… what would you guys recommend? Could anybody just give a little explanation, like “Motors FAQ for dummies”?

Thanks!

Got the point, I should have

Got the point, I should have geared ones. :slight_smile:

Apparently, the motors I have work pretty well also… when the power is 12V or above. Will try to work it out somehow.
