Driving motors from a microcontroller will be required for a project eventually. This video by NerdKits will go over some of the basics that are needed. Thanks Humberto. "Electric motors are a key way of converting electrical power (voltage and current) into mechanical power (torque and speed), and because electric motors are simple and reliable machines, they can be found all over, in many different shapes and sizes.

"Materials: A thick cigar An USB flash disk of small dimensions Some wire, 2 x LEDs (red!), 1 x 10K resistor Wood primer Some tape A short USB extension cable Very thin paper, the
