For all of you politically inclined, here's the latest news on the U.S. election process. The results will be known tomorrow, but for now - the fight is on! These sumorobots are totally autonomous. "No Radio control and no preset behavior. Or lobbyists." - as the author of the video puts it.
New! Servo2 and RM1a motors
Dave Hrynkiw
June 11, 2004
We've got in an inventory of Grand Wing Servo S03N standard servos. These pack quite a bit of power, and prove to be pretty good for standard servo applications.
We're sorry to say that the RM1 is no-more. The RM1 is dead; long live the RM1. (I never understood that phrase...) All hail the RM1a!
The replacement for the RM1 is practically identical, except that there aren't any pre-attached motor leads, and there isn't an output gear. Fortunately, we've found that the output shaft is indeed 1.5mm, which matches our RW wheels nicely. Slide them together, use a dab of cyanoacrylate (soooper-glue!), and it's an ideal match for building Herbie-style robots.
