Drive Corner Chooser

Use the tool below to select your configuration and generate a custom part number.

Motor choice affects the top speed and acceleration characteristics. Common options shown below.

Choose your desired gear ratio based on your strategy. Mid is standard. High increases speed but reduces acceleration.

Estimated Free Speed: 15.5 ft/s (est)

Optimized Sprint Distance: 15.5 ft (est for full weight bot)

Standard plates are compact and space efficient. Linear plates provide additional side clearance for tighter packaging.

All wheels are 2.5", but vary by tread type. Choose based on field conditions and durability needs.

Choose whether to include the THETA-ANA with the module.
