    I´m thinking about adding a third motor with another monster motoshield and need some advice.
    The idea was about mounting the new motor behind the seat with a wheel and to put the rotation center under the pedals.
    First question: How many centimeters of movement will be enough (both right and left from the center position of the seat) to having a nice traction lost sensation?
    second question: woul it appropiate to take the full power of a monster with only one motor or better to put two motors?
    Could the arduino uno R3 control 4 motors?

    You should ask this question in your own build thread. This way reponders can see what you have and what you are using already.

    Yes, sorry. Noorbeast is correct. Chu, you have started so many threads that I had assumed that you had already started a build thread.
