Not exactly relevant to BEAM, but an interesting distraction: Here's some interesting media from the San Francisco Exploratorium. Notable media to watch is their "Iron Science Teacher" competition (familiar with "The Iron Chef? Same idea...), and their hosting of Robot Sumo Wrestling.
GM2/3 Wheels!
Dave Hrynkiw
March 20, 2003
WooHOO! We managed to get large, grippy wheels made for our GM2 & GM3 series of gearmotors! If you're familiar with the Parallax / MarkIII style Minisumo, these wheels might look familiar. The critical difference is that these wheels are keyed to fit the double-flat of our own gearmotors!
We're presently stocking the black and yellow wheels, with a pair of black rubber bands coming with each wheel. Oh, we're also stocking a quantity of the 'regular' servo wheels.
Our tests show that this combination kicks BUTT on, and that's without using the high-power RM2 upgrade motors!
Want a teaser? Here's a minisumo we built in-house to try them out!
