Earlier in January we had a very interesting discussion with the chief geeks at Evil Mad Scientist Labs. They've been doing similarly-unique DIY as Solarbotics for a good long time, but they had now found themselves in the position of shuttering their operation to take some lead rolls with Bantam Tools.

New Sanyo Gear motors
Dave Hrynkiw
March 15, 2004
Wow! They're finally here! These are the original gear motors we used sooo many years ago to convert and power the Miniball kits (yes, they're under review for bringing back - don't rush us!).
We're the only place to find the whole assortment of four gear ratios - 75.7, 134.5, 196.6, and 297.1:1 reduction, and in all-metal gear-trains. These are truly beautiful little units, and being such quality, they're a bit more expensive than our regular gear motors. BUT, if you have a small-space, high-power requirement, nothing else will fulfill the job.
Ideal for applications needing light-weight actuators, like with antweight combat robots, or small (or quick!) walking robots!
