Gear Motor Find

Gear Motor Find

Just wanted to share. I found some nice gear motors at Princess Auto. I believe that they are car power seat motors which means: - 12v operation - reversible gearbox - good power/torque I...
question

Do You Use Protection?!

Ive been looking at a lot of robot projects here and around the net lately and one thing really surprises me. Ive yet to see anyone use servo savers on their robot. Im sure there are people that are, but it seems really uncommon. I dont get why. We use servos in ways that put them under loads way beyond their design, like mounting an entire robot...

Ez-B Input Voltage Range?

I cant find this information on the site. DJ Sures, what is the acceptable input voltage range for the EZ-B? Id love to run it off a gel cell. I noticed that there are 4 and 6 cell AA battery holders shipped with the EZ-B so I assume the voltage is regulated onboard. Can it handle 12V input? Thanks!
