Using Arcade to explain Motor types. The Meowbit with edgeconnector plugged into Kittenbot Robotbit ([https://www.kittenbot.cc/products/robotbit-robotics-expansion-board-for-micro-bit](https://www.kittenbot.cc/products/robotbit-robotics-expansion-board-for-micro-bit)) allows use of several types of motors. This Arcade story shows motors and their uses:

Video: this could be an introduction to electronics project or a Maker Faire display ; the code link in the video description shows the text on-screen telling about each motor.
