Hi all. Yup, time for another long weekend! We'll be back to it Tuesday morning, so until then, keep them solar cells clean!
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 enclosed gearbox. And these new motors aren't just sealed-versions of their brethren - they actually bring new performance characteristics to the party. Particularly torque. We're talking some finger-breaking torque in a tiny package (ok - if they don't break your finger, they'll cause considerable discomfort...). Sooo, your actuating-enjoyment, we present to you the:
GM20 - Sealed gear box, with performance between the GM11a and GM12a
GM21 - A longer, sealed gear motor, but a real torquemeister (yes, I said torquemeister), with over 100in*oz of torque @ 6V
GM22 - Another sealed gear motor, with more torque than a GM14. Good Turbot tumbling robot type motor!
We love little precision gear motors. They're just so cool...

Still time to order!
Just a reminder that if you're still looking for that last-minute gift, you can still place an order prior to 2pm MST Monday via courier, and expect to get it in time!
No, it isn't $30...
Sorry about that. The last ad for the ARDX Experimenter's Kit for Arduino? Wrong. Our graphics designer, Chris (yes, I'll give credit where credit is due) used an old template for our latest Servo Advertisement, and didn't change the price. No, it's not $30 - it's still $84.95USD. And continuing the blame-game, I gave him […]

We're still undergoing website bug-stomping. You may have noticed some changed news items and the like. One of the edits crashed the page, so we had to reload an older backup. The SCPD photodiodes are now officially sold out! KaPUT! Gone! Until we can find a reasonably priced replacement, we won't be restocking these items […]
