For our micromouse project we have decided to use dc reversible motors. We are trying to figure out what voltage and current ratings are typical for a project like this. It seems like 6 AA batteries would suffice. Our understanding of motors is quite limited, apparently control (for permanent magnet motors) is usually done by varying the armature voltage there seems to be a linear relationship with speed and this voltage. But how about current? how does one go about calculating what will provide enough torque to move the motors under the mouse's load? Any contribution will be greatly appreciated. Please respond directly I will post a summary if people are interested. Thanks in advance, Kenn.
