Hello,
I am not sure if its the right place for this but here goes. I am
constructing a line following robot. it is going to ba a wooden
platform 2x3 feet. I will be putting around 60lbs on it. Is there an
equation that will guide me to the right specification of a motor, (in
watt). I bought these geared motors:

but the motor turn bery slowly and I afraid they will heat up in time.
Plus the gearhead of one of the motors just stripped.
Is there a weight to motor power conversion ?
I guess the motors I have, ran at 24 v max, with a calculated 0.2 amp
max, so 4.8 watt?
Also those geared motors are hard to find, i did not want to go into
the trouble building my own gears, it probably would not be as precise
and strong.
thanks
