Re: Minibot Falling Solutions
We were hoping that the motor, being geared, would provide enough resistance to falling. Our main concern, though, is getting the motors to stop because I was trying to see how much torque the motors provided by trying to stop the wheel from spinning. Good news: plenty of torque. Bad news: motor began to smoke after a few seconds.
