Question on Motors Please Help! I have to design an electromechanical part for a crane model that is capable of going forward and backward, and lift a load up and lower it down as well. I already have an idea of what I'm going to construct but since I haven't covered an Electrical unit yet, What formulas should I use for my calculations to get what motor/s specification and my winch dimension should be? Now the restraints are: Load must be between 0.5 to 1.5 kg Must operate within 1 Watt peak Must be able to move this load within 1 minute Must fail/stall before1.5 kg

I was thinking of using a set of motors (2 wheel drive) to move the robot, forward and backward and using a separate motor to drive the winch for lifting and lowering the load. I will use a wired remote control as well.... I just need help in figuring out what formulas I should use to calculate the requirements. Thanks in advnce
