Stephen C. Brosseau: "During the initial development of the Novag Robot Adversary chess machine we used stepping motors to drive the arm's shoulder and elbow movement. But, to save costs, in the production model we switched to analog DC motors. The switch in drive motors had an unexpected benefit -- instead of the previous jerky and mechanical movement one associates with a robot, now the arm moved fluidly and with a strangely lifelike grace." http://www.sbrosseau.com/
