Re: robots project help

That depends on what the part is supposed to do..... if u want continuous controlled motion, u normally use a stepper motor or a geared DC/AC motor. for controlled motion between 0 and 180°, and low torque applcations an RC servo is suitable. For uncontrolled motion the selection of motor depends on the type of power supply u would have available.
