I am interested in building an Omnibot 2000 or Omnibot 3000 from the scrap... Using fiberglass... But I would like to know which motors shall I use to bear the weight (about 12-15 Kgs) and drive them... I would even prefer some suggestions on which motor driver compatible to EZ-B to be used... Guys, please guide me in the same...
I still couldn't figure out a way guys... I need some help... stress stress stress
your looking for motors? well, wheel chair motors can take a whole lot of weight. but you want something much less so search for 15kgs dc motors. figure out the amperage and find a motor controller that works with those motors amperage.
Sabertooths are compatible with the ez-b. there are many people such as myself who know how to wire up a sabertooth to the ez-b. just ask.
Almost all motor controllers can be controlled by the ez-b one way or another, so just ask and we can probably figure it out.
@pranav Here is the link to the place that I got my motors. My robot weighs about 100 lbs now and the motors have no problem pulling him around. I used the 12V motors. You will need to get a "Right Hand (RH)" and a "Left Hand (LH)"

I am using the sabertooth2x12 dual 12A motor driver. It works great with the EZ-B.
If you want something a little smaller you could use the tank style drive section from a R.A.D. robot. Others have used these but I am unsure exactly how much weight they will carry. Search the EZ Forum for ideas.

@rgordon, Thanks a lot...That's really useful...
@Gordon is that what your using? I really like your because they are quiet. Something I really want for Jarvis.
@Josh- Yeah. I am using the AME 218 Series 212 in-lb. (RH) Right Hand and (LH) Left Hand. They are a little pricey but I wanted pulling power. I will double check the part number when I get home to be sure.
Here is the link of a motor driver I would like to use for my robot, Is it compatible to EZ-B?

I took a look at that controller , it uses TTL interface so you can use it but it does not look like it could handle the current rating it claims and does not have a heat sink of any kind. That being said get a sabertooth 2 x 12 or model of your preference because the sabertooth has a great reputation , there are tutorials and they include heat sinks for continuous use.
