The graph below was created by OSURED and was used to determine the motors with the appropriate capabilites for our design [2]. For example, the calculations indicated that our design required a motor with the torque of at least 41.62 oz. This led to the deduction that our robot could utilize all motors other than the Futaba. Our team then decided to build our prototype with VEX motors because of their torque capabilities, reliability, and relatively inexpensive price.
