I've made an electrically activated pneumatic switcher with a micromotor, and a
3:1 gear ratio. It's not quite perfect, it could probably use a higher gear
reduction (or maybe just fresh batteries) but it's pretty small (6w X 5d X 5h)
and could probably be made a bit smaller. It's also a lot lighter than a
regular motor based switch.
The micromotor would also be good for moving sensors (scanning light sensor,
retractible touch sensors, etc.) although I haven't actually used it that
way...
