MotorWhen it comes to choosing motors for your <strong>robot</strong>, the most important factor is thetorque. Therefore, it is best to have estimated how much torque your <strong>robot</strong> willrequire before deciding on which motor to use. The required torque can becalculated easily through Newton’s second law, F = ma, in combination with yourdesired wheel size. Torque is typically specified using the following three units:g-cm (gram-centimeter), oz-in (ounce-inch), and mNm (milli-Newton-meter).PowerAs mentioned in the report, a switching regulator should be used on both <strong>robot</strong>s inplace of the three-pin regulator to increase the efficiency of the power used. Inaddition, we recommend that a separate battery be used to power the logic circuitsand RF modules since these devices, especially the RF, are sensitive to anyglitches in the power supply.42
