Here comes the excuse as to why it wasn't ready !!!

[swanaldo]

It will be at Barnsley ready or not....Probably the latter but it will be there.

Good looking robot, but your description confuses me. Where does the 140hp come from? I can only see Mag motors in your pictures. I thought you'd need at least 32 motors to get that much power.

[swanaldo]

Maggie....3.8hp, Gear ratio 36/1... Do the maths. And yes if you want to get picky i did round it up slightly.

-facepalm- that is not how power works.. (sorry, I've had a couple of motor customers make the same mistake, gets a bit tedious explaining to them that power is not interchangeable with torque)

Don't give him any ideas!

Power into the drive train = Power out of the drive (minus losses)
Power = Speed x Force
So your lifter is 36 times slower then the motor but you have 36 times as many torques. Still 3.8hp out the end. Minus a bit.
I couldn't figure out how robot had more power then my car. I wanted what ever you were using in my robot.
Actually I still want what your using.

either way its gonna be powerful.
