Guys.. We must be able to find these extremely agile motors cheaper somewhere:
http://www.solarbotics.com/products/gm10/
(CowGod keeps burning them, and I am using all my doe on just buying more and more)
They are so cool - but it must be possible to get them cheaper!
Anyone with a friend in China or something?
Never mind the wheels, they are fair priced at Solarbotics, cheap at least - one can just buy 100 of these if needed. But the motors are an alternative to servos in many ways, and they are so small, light, strong, fast..love!
I want to make a horse in life-size, and 2 submarines - only made up by these - if I can get the right prize!
Hey,
Hey, http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/195 actually has them cheaper.
Still too much if you want 10!
Way too much!

yeah right. being able to make a robotic horse will be so difficult let alone one thats LIFE SIZE.
plus 2 submarines. i dont know where you get your income but i would like to find out!
but hey they're pretty good ideas...
Yes :9 I was just saying
Yes :9 I was just saying (and trying to say it in a funny way) that I want lots of these motors; They are extremely handy, and I would like a lot of them, so we must be able to find them cheaper somewhere!

Yup, I agree. The pager
Yup, I agree. The pager motors themselves are probably not hard to find, it's the geartrains that are rare. But I'd think it should be possible to interface a pager motor with some standard gearbox. It might not look as pretty as Solarbotics' motor, but maybe it'd be cheaper. Hmm.
I do not think Solarbotics
I do not think Solarbotics manufacture these - they must origin from somewhere!
(somewhere cheap)
