    Dear friends
    I want to build something like this:


    I will use AC motors with gears.
    But cant decide the power of motors. 1kw 2kw or etc.

    What would be your suggestions? Is there any calculations for motors?
    Regards

    I am not rich but As much as how much I need to build this one.
    After making a working platform, we even make the invertor itself.
    But at first, cant decide the power of the motors.

    You are very right. But that is also another efford that costs cheaper. I will consider this suggestions much.
    But real issue is that
    Does simtools give any output suitable to this kind of platform?
    Does it?
