Note that
behaviors themselves can have state, and can form representations when
networked together. Thus, unlike reactive systems, behavior-based
systems are not limited in their expressive and learning capabilities.
motors commercially available do
not normally have a desirable speed to torque ratio (the main exception being
servos and high torque motors with built in gearboxes)
With gears, you will exchange the high velocity with a better torque.
the larger gear will move more slowly than the smaller gear, but it will move
with more torque.
No good robot can ever be built without gears. As such, a good understanding of
how gears affect parameters such as torque and velocity are very important.
