The power motors that come with the RIS are very efficient,
so the load is very light and speed changes very little.
Then of course it depend on your robot, if you use caterpillar
tracks you will generally have more load than with wheels.

An interesting thing is that with the ROM routines you can also change
the power of braking, I don't know whether this works for brickOS.

(...) you're right, I forgot float. Thanks for clearing the rest up for me :-) Doesn't the motor itself have a "load" when it works with no actual load? "which reduces power but not speed" Timothy (21 years ago, 15-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
