GM2/3 Wheels!

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!

Tasty Treats and New Treats, Too

A couple of weeks back we held an open house for Calgary's Protospace group. Many BBQ'd items were consumed, many objects were lazored, and many people seemed to be walking around in a stupor of admiration for all the nifty bits and pieces of equipment we have on hand. We had a good time visiting […]
