Lego motors are OK ptrformance wise (if youre talking about small robots), but the cost is really bad. What I would recommend is taking surplus motors and superglueing them together to lego bricks.

Hi, I am programming a 6.270 board with IC and wondered if there was any way of 'uploading' data from the board back to my PC? or would the only way to get the data be to print it out on the screen.... Thanks, Ruth (27 years ago, 12-Feb-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
