Oh, the reason why robotics tends to use stepper motors instead of DC motors is they don't have any internal feedback, so you're way more likely to burn out your motor when, say, the motor is caught. It's fine if you're in a completely controlled system, but if you're dealing with real machines out in real life you're going to cause issues.

You could always create a feedback loop, but you should look up control loop programs and the math associated with it if you're serious about it.
