...oh, just save the Republic! Just got this note in from Rob Meyer, who is using 3 of our GM15 pager gearmotors to drive his 1/18 scale R2-D2. Given that the real R2-D2 measures 108cm tall, that makes this cute cousin only 6cm (2.36") tall! There's a GM15 for each of the drive wheels, and […]
Yoicks! Lotsa new stuff!

Well, the pile of stuff we've just got in finally fell on me, forcing me to deal with it. Got some neat new stuff!:
- GMTT Traction tires for our GMPW and SW wheels. Ideal for mini-sumo robots!
- GMWW02 Wheel Watcher Encoder kits for the GM2/3/8/9 series gear motors, and GMWWS
spacers (needed for GM2 & GM3) - PRet
Plastic Retainers, which are quite useful for making micro wheel hubs
on RM1a style gear motors (Herbies - wheeee!) - TBlk2
Two-position Terminal Blocks, when coupled with our Tact1
springs make great tactile sensors like the ones on our ScoutWalker

That's it for now, but we're still working through the summer towards some
cool new stuff for the fall. Stay tuned...(enjoy your summer in the meanwhile -
we are!).

Closed Monday Sept 5, New Product
Labour Day. Do be honest, I don't even know what the big deal is. I mean, most of society does it (labourizing) for a living. What's the big deal? Apparently we need to celebrate it. That's right, rejoice about that thing that we do practically every day. And the way we celebrate it, go figure, […]
