Drive systems using cogs for a combat robot?
I am making a combat robot and would like to purchase a drive system which can power two 6cm diameter wheels with a resonable amount of toque. I have a 9.6v motor of which i would like to power it with.
Thanks
Oscar

...then I suggest you look at www.rapidonline.com they do a nice range of little mechanical bits that may help.
For weightier parts, I'd have to look at gears and bits from HPC
www.hpcgears.com/
...so you see, indicating where you are makes a difference to the advice you can get.
In America, I'd've suggest McMaster-Carr, but unless they've changed their policies, they don't export !

You are correct, sir. I forgot about that. How weird is it that in the 21st century, there are still companies that refuse to export? I mean, I get that there are taxes and tariffs involved, but come on....

Sorry, I got nothing. Too light for me. You might check McMaster-Carr for pillow blocks and gears and the like, but their stuff might be too heavy for you.
