We are so historical here, that we are going to be closed for Heritage Day - Monday August 4th. Never fear we'll be back on Tuesday 5th! No orders will be processed or sent out on that day, but we will be shipping on Tuesday. Cheers, Solarbotics Team!
GM2 Modifications
Dave Hrynkiw
August 29, 2002
Our GM2 gearmotors are powerful, and just a bit slower than a standard servo, making them ideal for a walker. But for you folks who like wheeled robots, these are simply too slow.
Solarbotics' own Grant McKee to the rescue! We barely had the motors opened 10 minutes before Grant figured out that these motors (the GM2 in particular) were able to be hacked into a much speeder 14:1 ratio down from their original, very torquey 224:1.
