结论

Your motor should be working again. Before reinstalling it on your robot, test it either with a backup battery or by plugging it in to your cortex. If you hear more grinding or anything out of the ordinary, reopen the motor to make sure the gears are aligned.

You can also use this process to change the gear ratio of the motor for different functions.
