Don't let the FP's run at stall for too long....unless that is you get a kick from watching the magic white smoke get released as the insides fry, and short out. 2 years ago we had a robot that used a scissor lift to lift up the bins, and we used the FP's to turn a lead screw to operate the mechanism...well, it turns out a lot of force is required in a mechanical system with as many inefficiencies as a scissor lift design...when all the dimensions are critical, and you have kids drilling the holds on a drill press..(measure it with calipers, mark it with chalk, cut it with an Axe)...I mean you are gonna have some problems...well the system did work, but the stress on the FP's where too much, and we had to replace them often. The system would bind up and stall the motors, and it wouldn't take long for those motors to overheat. Personally I'm a globe motor guy.
