[Robotgroup] New to list with Question

[Paul Atkinson]

Michael,

Thanks for the info. I can't see you-tube from work...
There were some gear motors circulating around the group a few months back.
Perhaps if you tell us a bit more about your motor project someone will
produce one that's not actively being used. Several of us are learning to
use the propeller, so you are in good company.

Paul
