For example, the robots "feet" slip and thus heat up the floor or a belt inside of him slips and begins to heat up. If there is no slippage--the motor will burnout or die some other way. I don't think that there is any mystery here. Bruce Failor ------- Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
