Harold Ilano built this SW2.2 / VBug inspired 5 motor walker named "Tank", and just recently announced it on the BEAM mailing list. It's a very effective and quick device - nicely done, and well worth a look-see. It still impresses me what we can do without a microcontroller...
New Servo-liciousness
Dave Hrynkiw
December 9, 2008
For far too long we've toiled under the merciless grip of the Gear Motor. But no more! For behold, there appears a trio of defiant servos to overthrow the tyrannical rule!
*cough*
But seriously forks, we have three new units available from Grand-Wing Servo. The 22140 GWS Modified Servo is a useful continuous rotation, full-sized unit. There's also the 22150 Sub Micro Servo - NARO HP BB and 22160 Pico Servo - PICO+ BB, which both feature a ball-bearing supported output shaft and Futaba connector. What's really impressive about these last two units, though, is their size. They are tiny, measuring less than 23x12x22mm. Check 'em out yourself for pictures, stats and dimensions.
Long live the servo!
