  "content": "The Motors Clinic is a focused two-hour workshop teaching students how\nto control different types of motors through programming. Students learn the\nelectrical and software principles behind motor control, including PWM\n(pulse-width modulation) for controlling motor speed and direction. The class\ncovers brush DC motors, stepper motors for precise positioning, and hobby servo\nmotors commonly used in robotics. While often taken as part of the robotics\nprogram, the Motors Clinic can also be taken standalone by students interested\nin electronics and automation. This hands-on class gives students practical\nskills for any project involving mechanical motion.",
