Adam Conus sent us a nice little message about his antweight combat robot The Fly.: Western Allied Robotics is kicking off another year of antweight combat events and I need new motors. (Because I'm very, very hard on them!) Still, they're cheap and light. Check out- http://home.comcast.net/~conusa/adam.htm to see the robot complete with solarbotics sticker!
Another New Gearmotor - The GM19!
Dave Hrynkiw
August 9, 2006
Here's a funky motor for you - the GM19! Slightly larger than the other metal gearhead series (GM11-14), and with a larger motor, this 35:1 beasty looks like a good contender for building mini-sumos or other small, speed-hungry robots!
But be warned: It is a bit strange. The gearhead is mounted askew to the motor, so it does not sit flat like the other metal gearheads. Hey, aren't all the real treasures a bit bizarre?
