Re: General Motor Rules

Would this only include brushed motors? Brushless motors and steppers would require different controllers, which is probably what's driving a lot of the standardization - ensuring that disabling the robot actually disables the actuators. Opening up to motors not from a specified list also increases opportunity lo lighten motors in what may be an unsafe manner. And what about hand-wound/homemade motors?
