[font=Arial,sans-serif]Hello, I wanted to ask your help in choosing equipment for my ground vehicle. It has to be able to carry around 10kg-15kg total payload and if it can reach around 0.3m/s speed would be great. What DC motors should I buy in order to achieve this as well the motor controller? Additionally, if you could recommend the batteries needed for this type of motors that whole robot would be able to run around 2hours with kinect also connected to same battery source.[/font]
