Motor Lab
I piggybacked on Jenny's mostly already-done motor lab, just to make sure I could get a motor going if I ever had to. I kind of slacked off on the motor lab because I was working pretty hard on the iTunes Jukebox.
The lab went pretty smoothly. Jenny had set everything up already, mostly. We both learned that there's such a thing as a unipolar motor that only goes in one direction (and doesn't go at all if the polarity is reversed) and we also learned that even a tiny motor can get going fast enough to make masking tape cut through paper.
