Motors?

[TripleOption67]

Hey everyone,

I am going to try a new venture and attemp to build my own boards. Similar to the one feature on this site called Building a Miniature Football Board 101.

Anyway, I have a question about motors. What would the best, yet inexpensive type of motor to use? Also, would it be better to use two motors instead of one for better control? I've been searching places like Radio Shack but they have numerous motors, so I'm not sure exactly what size etc.to use. Another question I have is what about the speed control? What would I need to get to control the power input?

The fields are going to be used with one, a magnetic Raiderman field cover & the other a removable Mark Kistner field cover. So obviously the magnetic one is going to need more power to operate than the removable.

You've all been very helpful with any questions I've had in my short time on coming on here, so if I'm asking questions that have already been answered on multiple occasions, by all means point me in the right directions.

Thanks in advance!!!

Greg
