I learned a year ago that lego motors are very sensitive to drops. I had a
contraption with 2 motors on my counter, and it fell off. When I tried to use it
again, I discovered that they would not turn. I took them apart, and saw that the
shafts had jammed into the back of the motor and locked them up. Never drop your
motors on thier shafts!
