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 […]
New Stuff!
Dave Hrynkiw
February 5, 2003
We've been busy little elves at Solarbotics. New to our product listing is a fair number of parts and ICs that have been requested of us. Like what? Wellll...:
You always need new chips. Especially when somebody on the BEAM list has made something cool:
- LM324 Op-amp (happy now, Bruce?)
- LM393 Dual comparator
- LM386 Audio op-amp
- LM339 Quad comparator
And you can't have new chips without new chip carriers!:
- DC8Pin - 8 pin dual inline IC carrier (for the LM386, 8212, and LM393)
- DC16Pin - 16 pin dual inline IC carrier (for the L293D and 74AC139)
- DC20Pin - 20 pin dual inline IC carrier (for the 74xx240 and 74xx245)
And what fun is it if you can't put your new ICs and carriers on a robot with a new motor?:
- RM2 - High power drop-in replacement motor for the GM2/GM3 gearmotors
- TPM2 - A new, less expensive alternate to the old TPM tiny pager motor!
- RPM2 - The Namiki 1701 replacement; comparable performance for less money!
Ummm... That's it. For now. We now return you back to your regular programming schedule.

Wot?!? New gear motors?
Hey, how about that! We've got some new gear motors to complement the popular Mini Metal Gear Motors (the GM11a, GM12a, GM13a, GM14a, GM18 and yes, even the mutant GM19). What's particularly new is that they have sealed cylindrical gearboxes! Same sort of gearing, but no funky rectangular shape - just a nice, sleek, clean […]
