WOW!! That is an amazing piece of work. Have you figured out if there is a
way to do it with a Technic 9V battery box, such as the one included in the
Technic Space Shuttle? One thing I have noticed with some motors is that
they will turn - or at least appear to turn - faster in one direction than
another. Sometimes they will make a lot more noise in one direction than
the other.
I'm not sure what exactly this means, but are there any good reasons to
favor the motor's 'faster' or 'slower' direction?

You'll still have to do some lego modification by soldering at least one other cable directly to the battery (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
