Made a prototype to show how much weight a synchronous motor can handle using a skateboard. Building a lighter “wood with wheels” will free up weight. Basically can handle 6lbs no issues, but can still move with 8lbs. This build can be used for a lot of different things. Links for items below.
00:00 - Motor prop and mounting
02:11 - Attaching arm to motor
03:32 - Attaching second arm
05:08 - Correct gap height for second arm
06:30 - Skateboard attachment for arm
07:34 - How it looks on the skateboard
07:45 - Complete prototype setup
08:03 - Armature gap not enough
08:27 - What happens if gap too small
08:36 - Correcting the gap
08:47 - Full rotation success
09:19 - 8lbs (skateboard and 4 bean bags)
09:45 - 7lbs (skateboard and 3 bean bags)
10:23 - 6lbs (skateboard and 2 bean bags)
10:38 - 6lbs is the magic number
