24V motors running on 12V?

I think thats where the term 'half-fast' originally came from :^)

they will run- it will be like running a 12V motor with a battery that is drained down to 6V (think about how a FIRST bot runs when its battey is almost dead and you'll get the idea).

I guess the bottom line is your application - if all you need is 1/4 of the rated HP, and its all you have to work with, its better than nothing.
