| Lego motors are OK ptrformance wise (if youre talking about small robots), but the cost is really bad. What I would recommend is taking surplus motors and superglueing them together to lego bricks. Especially for photsensors and switches. phil (27 years ago, 13-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
