Discussion Overview

The thread discusses the construction of a remote-controlled motor device that includes a motor, a stick, a step motor for pulling a rope, remote control, and batteries. The focus is on the necessary components, types of motors, remote control options, and battery choices, with an emphasis on keeping the device lightweight.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant outlines the basic components needed for the device, including a motor, stick, remote control, step motor, and batteries, and seeks advice on additional requirements.
  • Another participant questions the clarity of the initial post, suggesting that more details, such as a sketch and information about the rope's purpose, would be helpful.
  • Concerns are raised about the weight of the batteries, especially if they are intended to power the device over a distance of 50 to 100 yards.
  • There is a suggestion that an electronic chip may be necessary for timing, although this is not confirmed.

    • Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

    Participants have not reached a consensus on the specifics of the device's design or the components needed, and multiple viewpoints regarding the requirements and challenges remain present.

    Contextual Notes

    Limitations include a lack of detailed specifications about the intended use of the device, the weight constraints of the batteries, and the type of load the rope will be hauling. The discussion does not resolve these uncertainties.

hi guys

i want to make a device consists of
- a motor
- stick (60 cm long, 0.4 Kg)
- remote control
- step motor to pull a rope
-buttries

the idea is the main motor rotates the stick for seconds or for a minute. and the step motor pulls the rope 360 or 720 degrees. and all these motors controlled by a remote control from a distance around 50 to 100 meters. the device should be light not heavy...

the HELP i need are
- what elese i need ? (some people told me i need some electronic chip for timing)
- what type/kind of motors i can use? (by the way i don't knw much about motors)
- what type of remote contol i can use?
- what type of buttries i can use?

am sure you have the right path and better ideas than what i have... TELL ME PLEASE

THANKS

sorry
a rope
 
You really need to give us more detail. A sketch would be an excellent start. Also, you should tell us things like what the rope is hauling, how much it will be used, etc. For example, you're hauling over 50 to 100 yards - batteries might be a poor option, unless you're talking car batteries - but that won't be very light...
