A motor spins as long as you give it speed, without knowing where it is or how much it has turned. That's why motors are for wheels and servos are for arms.

🎯 The challenge of this lesson

Change the hundred to forty and look at the number on the label; then add a third track with speed seventy, so the motor has three gears instead of two.
