Hi,
I'm building a cheap budget robot (70 euro)in college to compete in a robo sumo competition in a few weeks time. I'm making good progress but I'm stuck on what motors and wheels to buy, and I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me? The whole robot has fit in side a 10cmx10cm square and must not weigh over 500 grams.

Thanks in advance

Have you had a look at radionics: http://ie.rs-online.com/web/c/automation-control-gear/electric-motors-motor-controllers-peripherals/dc-motors/?sra=p Spotted a couple of cheap motors that wouldn't seem to break the bank.
