Set the maximum torque on the forklift motors lower #64

Open prophile opened 3 years ago

prophile commented 3 years ago

The rated maximum torque on the RS drill motors we usually use at Smallpeice is 1 kgf-cm. After conversion to a unit which isn't brain-dead that's about 0.1Nm.

This makes the robots accelerate to maximum speed not instantly.

Unfortunately this drops the torque too low for the robot to turn whilst holding a token (but it is enough to push).

Presumably this is down to the tokens having too high a coefficient of friction?
