Apologies if this is a FAQ.  What is the net-wisdom on using stepper motors
from surplus diskette drives?  Do they have enough power/torque to be of any
use in a light duty experimental robot platform?  The two that I have are
marked 12V 0.08A 3.6 degrees/step and 12V 0.16A 1.8 Degrees/step.

Thanks for any advice.
