  RE: Moving NXT motors by hand
 
Hand crank it alone should be find. As a matter of fact, that's how we demonstrate to kids a generator. However, just to be on the safe side, I would recommend you not to hand crank it when it is hooked onto to the power source, especially when it (...)

(...) John, there are a lot of people using the NXT motors this way, just to get the feedback from the built-in rotation sensors. The best example would be the MDPers who built one joystick with a NXT kit to control a moving vehicle made with (...) (18 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Moving NXT motors by hand

  Moving NXT motors by hand
 
Hi: Sometimes my son and I move the NXT motors by hand, for instance, by attaching something to the holes in the orange hubs to act as a crank. We wonder if that's bad for the motors. Does anyone have an opinion? Regards, John and Will (18 years ago, 28-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Gripper/Register for Light Sensor Experiment
 
I want to create a platform for experimenting with the light sensor. At the moment, I'm thinking of cutting off the gray-scale and color bars off the NXT Test Pad that comes from the commercial kit. The strip would then be mounted on some device, (...) (18 years ago, 26-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
