 | | NXT on the Subway

LOL, the School in Brooklyn where I teach Robotics, gave me an NXT Kit (consumer version) to create a robot for them to use at the Science Fair. [LEGOSet 8527] I did not have a bag to carry the box, so I carried it on the Subway. LOL, everyone was (...) (16 years ago, 14-Feb-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Yep. But note that Philo was talking about *torque*, not force. A torque of 50 N•cm means that it could supply a force of 50 N with a lever arm of 1 cm, or a force of 500 N (more than 100 lbs) for a lever arm of 1 mm... but that would imply an (...)

Thank you for clarifying this, Brian. I was reading (URL) It stated that the NXT with "Stalled torque) up to 50 N.cm. 50N... it equates approximately 10lbs?!
