The Secrets of Robot Inventor Motors – Accuracy, Speed, Torque, Form Factor

How accurate are the new MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor motors? How fast do they spin? How much torque do they produce? What is it like building with the Robot Inventor motors? How does the accuracy, speed, and torque of the new Robot Inventor motors compare to the EV3 motors?

The new Robot Inventor motors are mechanically identical to the LEGO Spike Prime motors (specifically, the Spike Prime medium motors). Today’s video uses the FAST method to evaluate the Form Factor, Accuracy, Speed, and Torque of the new Robot Inventor motors, using the familiar EV3 motors as a benchmark. I also reveal a handful of secrets that will help you make the most of using these new motors in your robots.

Thank you to Philo Hurbain for providing the torque measurements for the LEGO Spike Prime (Robot Inventor) motor. You can read more about his LEGO motor comparison on his website.
