Rotation sensor woes

I'm having problems fitting my Lego Rotation sensor into my models. It
doesn't seem to quite fit properly - even the most basic setup of two beams
either side held in place by plates on the top or bottom (with 1 plate on
top or two plates below the beam to get the spacing right) results in
substantial additional resistance compared to just the rotation sensor
alone. So much resistance that it simply doesn't turn in some of my intended
applications.

Have I got a dodgy sensor which needs to back to Lego or is this just the
way they are?

TIA,

Tim

I've had the same problem. I guess there's too much error tolerance on the production line. -- Greg Frazier (...) (23 years ago, 7-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
