Hello Hari,

One question: Even after invoking the Coast() macro, there's still some
resistance when manually turning the motor output by hand.  Is this unavoidable
due to the gearing, or is there a way to lessen the friction (ala RCX rotation
sensor).

There is a lot of down-gearing in NXT motors
(http://philohome.com/nxtmotor/geartrain.jpg), so you have to overcome a lot of
friction to rotate its output.

Or even http://www.philohome.com/nxtmotor/motor1_3.jpg ;)
