Hi
Im building a FW for an IVA project and so I can fight it, but I have had trouble getting motors that match, and when I found some that did, it was gonna cost me 30 quid, which is 3/5 of my college budget for this thing, so I am considering Paul Coopers WW motors on Technobots. Can anyone give me a 1st hand opinion of them before I buy them
Well Anthor option would be drill motors you can find some quite cheaply in Argos or any DIY shop
I brought 10 of Pauls motors, they work great but you may want to make a custom wheel mount for them.
lol ewan, u using all 10!?
hmmm... *thinking* I think Ill take that challenge10 in one machine (not featherweight obviously)
When you say a custom wheel mount, what do you mean ? I planed on having it attached to an inner bulkhead with the custom made wheel bolted and screwed to the motor taper as shown in the Real Robots mag,
heres a slight bit of motor trouble as well.
a friend of mine has a set of two dewalt motors for a spinner (18v kind) and he is looking to remove the gears and put a pulley onto it.
BUT i remember seeing on some website, i believe it might have been ewans, that there was a pulley that had the gears cross section cut into the hole in the middle. anyone know where to get these?
Assuming you mean this:

I think he made these himself, with a small file or similar. Ewan can probably verify this.
or the dogs been chewing on it? allways get that problem, damn dogs!
Are the WW motors from Techno-bots a matching left and right pair ? I understand wiper motors go slightly slower backwards, which Id rather not have
