my wheels are about 2 inches, hence the low reduction

**PJ-27** · 21st May 2012, 07:43

Inch? What's that?

**jonny** · 21st May 2012, 07:46

6:1 sounds very low, I think 30:1 would do best

**mattsdragons** · 21st May 2012, 07:57

unsure yet but their old meccano wheels which are small but wide, need the space inside if im going for a BW bulldog breed

@Matt, I hope you realise that as well as a Bull Dog there is also a Bull Beetle and if you didn't call your robot Bull Beetle Breed you'd be missing a great opportunity!

Name taken!

BullBeetle Breed it is

Haha nice name, and 30:1 would be best I think, I used the slightly lower reduction ones and there fast to fast, with no power on 50mm wheels. Smaller wheels may be ok, but I like my robots to be invertable

with a flipper/lifter thing I should be able to self right, wait and see really

**Bodge Job** · 21st May 2012, 18:19

Yeh, I just like the reassurance just in case something happends.

Thanks to Kenny for profiling new titanium base plate for rpm tonight as more clearance needed for hardox tooth I just fitted to drum, it works pretty well Tom just putting a test vid together so will be on soon
