CONT

Capacitance is a kind of electrical inertia. If a system has high capacitance, this means either that a signal must be sent through it at high power, or that it will move at a lower speed. The microclaw has low capacitance because it requires such a tiny pad to fix it to the chip. Therefore, it provides more connections and it speeds up the signals.
