Unfortunately, that seems to be too complex for some people...

The tool I am currently making for Mike will (hopefully) address these issues. It uses a totally different algorithm for determining motor suitability than my current motor selector page. Trying to make it as idiot proof for the noobs as possible yet make it detailed enough to satisy the curiosity of the more experienced hobbyist is a bit difficult though.
