Can Vex Motors Be Used With Just A Battery

Hello fellow VEX users. I was wondering if for a project I could use just a vex 2-wire 393 motors, without using a microprocessor of any sorts, and if I can just use it as a normal motor with the use of only a battery. Thanks!

The 393 motors can be powered with a 9-volt battery if you have the 9-volt to 2 wire adapter

Well, can it work with 8 double A batteries or less?

yeah a 9-v battery with the adapter works. you could use AA batteries, but you’d probably have to solder on an adapter to a AA battery holder thing.

also why 3 posts? this creates lots of spam, one is suffice.

You can also hook multiple 393s to a circuit board and power them that way it you choose
