Copal 30:1 Motors

Hi all, I have the Pololu Orangutan SV-168 microcontroller, and was wondering if these motors would be a good choice for a Mini Sumo:

Hello.

The only current-related spec I see is 1.3A stall without a corresponding voltage. That could be a bit on the high side, but it should be fine with the Orangutan as long as you aren’t stalling the motor all the time. It seems that these motors might be a bit difficult to work with because of their size: if you put them end to end, you’ll only have a few mm to spare in the 10 cm size limit.
