Re: Motor that acts like a servo

yeah we did the same thing and it works SO WELL. it's really awesome.
i remember talking about the programming with the team mentor and you have to use a potentiometer to input the values that you want the motor to move to. i'm pretty sure you can do it with any motor. we did it with a globe first and then a window.
