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

Umm... Has anyone else noticed that it's technically impossible to limit the motor to 6V in programming? I mean... We're talking PWMs here. It's all 12V with varying duty cycle. And at 50% duty cycle, I don't think the motor would magically smooth the pulses out into a 6V signal.

I realize that 50% duty cycle would probably have mostly the same effect as running at 6V, but there's an important distinction there and a statement like this could serve to easily confuse rookies that are still grasping the concept of PWM.

All that said, Team 57 is still going to be mighty careful with our FP. I also forsee a large market for them on CD-Swap, for those teams that are not making use of them.
