Well, the last batch of Escap gearmotors went very fast. Let's hope this batch lasts a bit longer! Unlike the last set, this set has a higher reduction ratio of 663:1 instead of 362:1. This means it starts turning 0.46V (!) drawing only 3.3mA (!!) It's a 3V rated motor, but our tests show that […]
Sherline Closing Sale
Dave Hrynkiw
February 28, 2011
Because we use their great products while making robots, we've also carried Sherline products almost since we started Solarbotics. But the time has come to start cutting things that aren't core to our business, and the Sherline machine tools definitely take valuable time from open-source hardware hacking, lasering, and pick'n'placing.
For 1 week only, we're offering 20% off the stock we have on hand. Sorry, special orders don't apply to this deal!
We have a stack of stuff we'll be returning to Sherline later this week, but we'd rather give you first shot at a healthy discount before we have to pay for shipping it back.
Download and review the spreadsheet (both tabs), and drop us a line to let us know what you're interested in. We'll generate a full quote with shipping figured out.
