Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Fisher-Price Motor Information

I am confused. FIRST advises not to "stall" the FP motor. Does stalling mean having the motor stop at 0 rpm? If so, does this mean that one should not use the FPs to power an arm, in which case the motors will have to stop with the arm at a certain height with a load on the motor?

Also, I would really really like to know where "the torque curve" can be found.

I have never done any work with motors in past years, so any help would be great!
