This may be a stupid question, but, since it's a motor and has moving parts, I'm assuming this thing can break down. How do you fix it if it does?

If they ever make a lib robot this motor can power its brain.

Not a stupid question at all. It's a big problem. I've read MEMS devices tend to get gummed up all the time. Suffice it to say that serious widespread applications of this technology are WAY out in the future, imo.

Build a new one.

I imagine the ideal situation would involve a statistical basis-- have enough motors in place that the percentage of those that break down won't affect the completion of the overall job process... To within standard deviations...
