We designed an inexpensive electromechanical test bench for investigating direct current (DC) motor characteristics. The bench makes it possible to test DC motors and refine a technique of using inertial loading to plot the torque/velocity curve. The primary goal of our work is to debug software and hardware solutions to be used in small-scale track-laying mobile robots and test benches.
