Tracked Robot motor

Hello,

My 9-year-old son decided to assemble his first robot and we have some questions regarding the motor.

Robot base approximate parameters are

Length 80cm

Wide 50cm

Track wide 8cm

Weight 50 kg

Speed 4-5 m/s

Which brushless dc motors (2 fwd) are suitable for this?

Hello @Irakli73 and welcome to the RobotShop forum,

We suggest using this tool to estimate the torque the motors will need:

As the weight is towards the heavier side it is very likely you’ll need Gear Motors.

Also, since you mentioned it is your son’s first robot we recommend checking the “How to Make a Robot” tutorial series

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to ask.

Have fun with your project!
