That explains why the internal CyberMaster motors when running at speed 1 sometimes make the unit tremble fast, almost like if the motors were being turned off and on at high speed.
The effect is more noticeable when the batteries are weak and using tracks (and probably when both are synchronized).
It might have been easier for them to implement pulse modulation than other method, but definitely I don't like it.
