Hi Parallax,

I have the boe-bot now for about a year. The Boe-bot drive really slow.
So my question is to make a fast dc motor for the boe-bot.
So the servo from the boe-bot can be replaced with a dc motor
And the boe-bot is a little bit faster.

    In order to have the ability of greater speed on the Boe Bot with DC motors, you would need H-Bridges to drive the motors. This would add a good deal of weight to the Boe Bot, and would also need more space on the bot. If you are wanting a robot platform that has more space, greater speed, and utilizes the Propeller Microcontroller, we have the Stingray Robot. If you are not wanting to get into the Propeller, and want to use your Basic Stamp, you can absolutely use your Board of Education on the Stingray Platform as well.
