There are only 3 9V motors in the Lego product line today:
- the geared motor as found in the Mindstorms sets. This is the one that has
a cube like shape, with lots of irregularities.
- the ungeared motor. This is sort of the classic 9V Technic motor. It has a
rectangular case, like a small battery box, without any irregularities. Only
recommended for applications where you need more speed than the geared motor
can provide.
- the micromotor. It's bright red, and not much bigger than a 2x2 brick.
It's suitable for steerings, moving small arms, etc., or wherever you don't
have a lot of space for a motor, and don't need a lot of power. It turns
really, really slow.
