The (small) load presented by the gears makes it behave
quite well with pure DC

Sadly, the servo motors have oodles of oomph (the correct
technical term for torque etc). My little bot is really a
micromouse in training and very light so the load is not
huge.
I have no skills for gearbox building and no money for
expensive gearmotors. Will I have to hang weights on it to
load the motors :)
My main puzzle is just why the DC (eg single NICAD cell at
1.25V) runs the motor more slowly than the HB PWM drive at
a nominal 14% of 6V or so.
Is this just a 'feature' of PWM?
