(...) micromotor assembly, then this is probably a space saving. And it is most definately a saving in complexity. Hmm... If the rotation sensor is directly connected to the motor, then it can't detect rotation when the motor slips (e.g., you've got (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
