Today, when my green trolley rearended my red trolley I decided to
test my motors. I ranked them in order of speed. Then I thought that it
would be bad to have a fast motor paired with a slow motor. I thought
that pairing motors with dissimilar speeds would put unecessary strain
on the faster motor. So, do you think pairing similar motors is
important? I also noticed that the older, slower motors did not light
the lights as brightly. I guess this makes sense if the old motors cause
a larger voltage drop.
Anyway just making noise,
Chris
