Re: Gimson Robotics

What off the shelf wheels are compatible with these motors? Or do you have to custom build them?

Re: Gimson Robotics

Would the gears fit Argos drill motors?

[ewan]

Re: Gimson Robotics

Possibly- they are the same size (with different styling) as gears from an Argos drill I bought three years ago, but as budget drills sometimes change design I can't say for sure.

Re: Gimson Robotics

Ah, thats useful (that the technobots wheels fit). Does anyone have a weight for those and what is the wheels profile? There is no dimensions besides diameter on the technobots site.

Re: Gimson Robotics

Where did you get Technobots from? If you mean Robochallenge I think the tyres are 25mm across and the weight would depend on the size of the tyre.

[Eventorizon]

Re: Gimson Robotics

Yes, Robochallenge not technobots... sorry. So 25mm wide with a 100/75mm diameter.

Re: Gimson Robotics

The 100mm ones are in the area of 200grams each. Not sure about the 75mm ones, don't own any.

Re: Gimson Robotics

Just received the motor drives. My first impression is only positive
And for the price I don't think they will be bettered,
If you do the sums for two drill drives from Robo Challenge and the cost of two of these units,
I think these new motors could be the new standard in the Featherweight class

Re: Gimson Robotics

I've been having problems with the forwarding on the ewan@gimsonrobotics.co.uk email address- apologies if any of you have been trying to contact me through it, it's likely your emails will have bounced. Please use the .com equivalent of the aforementioned address or alternatively gimsonrobotics@gmail.com if you need to get in touch, both of which are working as of now.

I will be posting about some new products later this evening.

Re: Gimson Robotics

New products for 19/12

We have added a number of products to the GR01 Accessories page and to the newly added electrical accessories page.






I hope some of you will find them useful!

Re: Gimson Robotics

Wow, this is a really good range of products, but it might be a good idea to add the dimensions of the products, eg the diamiter of the wheels, but it's looking really good other than that
