Uh, Wow.. My bot is about 30 - 40 lbs so far.. I have the gear ratios set
for a top speed just over walking speed (if all goes as planned). While I
cannot verify anything until I get the bugs worked out, I would estimate
that the gearing required to allow these motors to drive a 200 pounder would
slow it down considerably, if it worked at all. On the other hand, if I had
a 200 pound machine clambering about my house, I don't think I would want
it to go very fast! I will respond in more detail after "proving" my system
under full load.
