I doubt that the pulley gear with the rubber insert is meant for slipping. I
think it's rather the opposite - provide a firm grip on an axle so that it won't
slip sideways. That's important for the micromotor - it only has a very short
stub axle.

To allow for slippage, either use a white clutch disk, or a pair of pulleys with
a rubber band.

This pulley was mentioned in Dave Baun book (scanbot, page 167).
Did anybody use the friction pulley from mindstorms kit to do connect 2
axles? It has a cross hole on one end and a rubber ring in the other that
seens to fit an axle.

It seens it could be an option to any situation where you don't want the
motor to get stucked when the second axle stops, like steering mechanisms.
But I did not see any robot using it yet.
