Re: wiper motors [TANKS]

Agreed, those seem to be #36's  strengths and weakneses to a tee.  Cheep, 
lightweight, low power demands, but slow and they run hot.  Oh, and 90 
minutes was a serious overestimate.  Maneuverability is degraded with only 
20 minutes of runtime.  As long as the terrain isn't too crazy it's good 
beyond that though.
