    Yeah, I know some component of the opponent's weight will always be supported by whatever reaction forces it has, I suppose my calculations were more of an overestimate to ensure enough power. I'm going to make the chassis and arms shorter and recalculate. However I really need to ascertain how much room I'll need in the middle for the motors first. Also, remeasuring, strictly the arm length from axle to shovel bracket is around 0.23m, it's the lip of the shovel that adds the extra length, and I rounded up even then.

    PJ, I know you said you used a windscreen-wiper motor, but what's the approximate torque and size of those, and is there some variant I could use where I could have one on each side? That's my main problem here, getting motors that fit properly so that the lifter axle is powered on both sides.
