The new Mindstorms RIS 1.5 set I gave my son for Christmas had a bad motor
right out of the box. The motor is just jammed up and will barely turn by
hand. I emailed Lego and they are sending me a new one (in up to 3 weeks!).
We couldn't wait to get started to I went to all the stores here looking for
any set with a motor and finally settled on the RoboSports expansion kit.
When are now building the vehicles in the main kit using the motor from
Robosports.
Anyway, I know have this bad motor. I can easily remove the guts with the
jammed motor. This looks like a great starting point for some sort of custom
sensor or actuator. Anyone have any ideas?
