Compliments to machining 4 all with his power feed adaptation; perfect example of what HMT.net is all about.

The Dean Kamen and Woodie Flowers program, FIRST Robotics, makes tremendous use of automotive 12v motors from wipers, windows, seats...The variety of actions available is widespread, adaptable, economical and compact.
I command (heartily encourage) any who think our young need mentoring to foster mechanical aptitude, science and/ or technology to engage with a FIRST chapter near you. I can't really see how the type of readership HMT.net has, could resist participating.

It's a rabbit hole you can literally and physically dive in to, compared to just reading about others work...
