I bought the Mindstorms NXT kit at BrickFest 2006 in hopes of designing a Lego
chipper. Although the sensors would make the design possible, the blade of a
chipper has to turn at an extremely high RPM- and with a lot of torque. The NXT
motors turn at a low RPM. The RC motors have the speed and the torque but do
not have the same ports as the NXT motors. Is there a way to adjust the NXT
motors for high RPM and torque (say, high enough to shear a stick-shaped
pretzel), or is there a piece in existence to interface an RC motor into NXT?
Would it be more adviseable to just double up the NXT motors turning the blade
and adjust their speed? I somewhat figured out how to use the program but am not
at all competent at it yet.

| (...) Nathan, Yes, there are ways to do just about everything you asked. I don't think the RC motors will run at full power when connected to an NXT (which can be done via conversion cables) Personally, I'd suggest gearing up one or more NXT motors, (...)
