How to Design a Combat Robot Drivetrain (Motors, Gearing and More!)

How to design the drivetrain for combat robots (or any robot for that matter).
In this video, I take a very in-depth look at what factors will help with selecting a motor and gear ratio for your desired robot drivetrain setup. The guide I've linked below will also go into detail about how to achieve the desired ratio and transfer torque to the wheels of your robot, and more. If there's enough interest I'll expand on these topics in a full Part 2 video.

If you're working on a design now, feel free t follow along as I go through the calculations I did for designing my 12lb combat robot Draconid!
