Re: utter confusion

How is the motor hooked to the conveyor system? Direct coupling, gearbox, chain and sprocket? What's the ratio?

Oh, yeah: you kind of don't want to run the motor directly from the battery. I think there's some reason, but I can't remember what right now.

Also, what's the programming on the Jag?
