 | | RC Motors —Steve Hassenplug
|
| | | A couple people have pointed out how the new motors on the RC Buggy seem to be very fast. So with the Workshop 3D challenge coming up, I wanted to see how they compare to the Mindstorms mini-motors. To test them, I started by hooking a rotation (...)

My friend Marco Berti inspected the inside of the new RC motors (he's an expert of small electric motors) and told me that they are of a cheaper kind than the Mindstorms ones: they draw more current (...)

The most interesting ones I've found are NQC, leJOS and leGOS. The (...) (22 years ago, 1-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | (...) I think you are much too negative there, leJOS is just a different tradeoff in the middle between NQC/LEGO firmware and brickOS (formerly legOS): - It's faster than NQC/firmware but slower than brickOS (I've not measured it, but a factor of 10 (...)
