oh okay i see now, thank you!

Thank you very much, Glad I know i can take a pretty sharp turn with it. About the centripetal value from post 6, I am just curious as to how you obtained that value?

nvn, the casters are at the corners of the robot. This is just a project I am working on, I just want to know how fast i can get it to accelerate and turn.

wheel base is as follows, there are 4 casters, 1 at each corner of the robot, and the two drive wheels are located on the side of the robot at its center line. Casters are 2 inches in diameter and the drive wheels are 4 inches in diameter. Has one motor per drive wheel.

Thank you nvn, The robots max velocity is 1.5m/s, fairly slow. Out of curiosity how did you determine the the rate of acceleration that would cause it to tip. Also in the second equation regarding rho, where did the acceleration 5.886 m/s^2 come from?

basically it could be either, it could be tip from acceleration, or tip from cornering, and since it can rotate about its center point, how fast it can rotate before it tips. Does that help??

Thank you, unfortunately that doesn't answer my question. I understand it will tip over at that point, but I am looking for the maximum speed the robot can turn at before it starts to tip over.

Hey, I'm trying to calculate the point where my robot will tip over but I don't really know where to start. Basically the robot is 24" x 50" and 40" tall. The center of mass is the center of the robot 25" from the ground. Total weight is 44lbs. The robot turns via differential steering so it...

I am a hobbyist, and I am not too familiar on to how to run motors. Can someone help me design a simple circuit that drives a dc motor on pulley drive of a conveyor belt. I only need a steady speed, I am not changing speeds. The conveyor belt has to stay on for 5 seconds after a switch is turned...
