catalog... How much can be done with this little motor? Would it be a
valuable investment for our Mindstorms RIS?

| The micromotor is much smaller - not much bigger than a 2x2 brick. It's geared down a lot, and it's output turns very slowly. I estimate it at about 1 turn per second (60 rpm). You could use it for positioning (moving an arm or a lever) where you (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) I've made an electrically activated pneumatic switcher with a micromotor, and a 3:1 gear ratio. It's not quite perfect, it could probably use a higher gear reduction (or maybe just fresh batteries) but it's pretty small (6w X 5d X 5h) and (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
