I had the best online experience with this store. The shipping was super fast (they shipped the very next day), the packaging was excellent and Mike at MR is extremely polite and prompt. Shipping is very reasonable.

PS: I'm no way related to MR.

It is about a year ago I made a robot called "Skiwalker".

It's parts are used for other robots, and I would have forgotten all about it, if not every now and then when I logged in, someone wrote to me; "Hey, that is a nice walkthrough, cool, helped me, inspired me" etc..

That is so NICE! It often makes my day, to get that kind of feedback without warning for a long forgotten thing I did.

And all I did at the time was to remember to film / take pictures.

This is a very nice little package. You have to assamble yourself, and there are 3 ways.

You want to assamble in "C"-mode, ratio 203:1

The A & B setups, 58:1 are really fun because they are fast etc.. until you try to make your robot use it. It is simply not strong enough for the fast-changing pulses etc from a PIC-controller, it is useless because it takes so much time to accelerate, and many setups will not ever get up to speed at all..
