Re: Backdrive with Window Motors

We bought a cheap 12v cordless drill and replaced the drill motor with wires and a connector. Place a pair of the same connectors in the wires between the Spike and the motor. Plug in the "drill" and you can drive the motor in either direction and with variable speed.
It's very handy for testing drive systems during the build process and for positioning arms or linkages when the robot is not powered.
