Hi, I making a bot for "robot sumo fight" competition. Bots are place on a platform of 2m meters diameter and to win one needs to push others off the platform. The max weight is 3kg for the bots. (Assume the motors need to push max 3kg of weight) I am using 4x200rpm geared motors for the 4 wheels. I don't know the stall torque.
I am going to use the L298n module..
This one
I looking to drive the motor in way to get the max torque out of them.
Max current rating of this module is 2Amps per output in both direction.
I will using a 12volt supply. 24 volts is max volts that is allowed in the competition.
Will I be able to drive 2 motors from one output without out overloading the IC and still get good performance from the motor? Since, both motors on the same side will be getting the same control signals from the micro controller at any given time so I thought one motor driver module should do.
