Now that is freaking awesome - but do they supply the same amount of torque as the 'standard' ones do? Also, that gearbox 2, looks nice and all, might come in handy, but I prefer having more control over my placment of gears. I think it would be (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Wow, that answers a lot of questions, all but one: why is the USB's 'long range' shorter than the Serial's distance? Was my speculation of the available power true?
