Hi, im wondering if its possible to use windshield wiper motors, when you remove the worm gear sistem and put a chain sprocket on them -chain drive.
These motors should be quite slow, but i dont know anything about the power.
Is it worth a try? I have lots of them and im on really low budget.
By the way, i made one motor, it looks like a real thing ! :proud:
Going to make some more and test them out.

you could but you would have to find a sprocket small enough , and you would almost certainly have to weld it.
you say you r on a buget just use drill motors lighter and maybe cheaper all you have to do is put a wheel on them see other posts about that or email the coppers :)
why e-mail the coppers?
why involve the police John? :mrgreen:
i have some used but perfectly fine 'blue' wheels which are made by robo challenge they just screw right onto the drill
interested????
(btw drill motors much easier :talker: )
clive hmm jsut a typo i tink
Freudian slip more like :wink:
jsut a typo :rofl:
Mart, if the windscreen motors have gearboxes on them you could try attaching a wheel directly to the shaft. You would get a very slow robot with the sort of windscreen motor/gearbox combos I am used to but you could speed it up a bit with bigger wheels and by overvolting the motor. It's not ideal but it might be the way to go if you have severe budget constraints.
