| (...) It could be that I am misinterpreting it, but the original post seemed to ask the question "How do you get more power out of the Lego motors?" It was not about gearing or rotation sensors at all. These things are important but the implication (...) (23 years ago, 14-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)
