Hello people, I got a bit tired of compiling and uploading programs to a second RCX every time I need to make a small change (ok, adding the possibility to do adjustments with the remote control helps a bit), so I decided to make a win-program that (...)

(...) Yep. But note that Philo was talking about *torque*, not force. A torque of 50 N•cm means that it could supply a force of 50 N with a lever arm of 1 cm, or a force of 500 N (more than 100 lbs) for a lever arm of 1 mm... but that would imply an (...)

Thank you for clarifying this, Brian. I was reading (URL) It stated that the NXT with "Stalled torque) up to 50 N.cm. 50N... it equates approximately 10lbs?!
