Re: Use of the fisher price motor ALONE

Guy,

Look in the White Papers section of this website. There are several very good presentations of how to apply motors. Specifically, please download and read WRRF motor selection workshop lecture notes... posted by Ken Leung where he expands upon work by Joe Johnson and Mike Ciavaglia in 2001.

The motors are a bit different from those we have in the kit now but the physics, engineering and design methodology is timeless.

Regards,
