   I'm not very familiar with robotics in general, but keep seeing stepper
motors mentioned in this context.  How fundamental are stepper motors,
especially in relation to the issue of precision in speed and positioning?
Are they crucial to the whole process or producing robots, mobile machines,
navigation controllers, and the like?
