Subject: [alt-beam] The Gearmotors are in!

I got my first glimps of the gear motors I will begin distributing today. T=
hey are nice tiny motors that are VERY torquey. I have't been able to stop =
the big gear with my fingers yet. So here is the info, which I will be post=
ing to my web site latter tonight. (I have to go to work right now.) I've a=
lso included a small 7kb picture of it at the bottom of this message. My IS=
P is being a jerk right now and I figured people wouldn't mind that much fo=
r a picture. =
Here are the stats:
About 30 RPM (Perfect!)
2.5v-6.5v
Small size: There is a ruler in the picture
Low current
High torque.
The initial gear is a worm gear, so if your really into trying to get some =
feedback, which is very minimal anyway, and so far dosen't seem to be a rea=
l fact, these will dampen feedback. Otherwise they are perfect for that fir=
st walker or spyder robot you've been wanting to build. As I said, they hav=
e a nice speed and very high torque.
The price is 11 dollars each.The shipping was originally only going to be a=
bout a dollar, but I was at the post office today and found out that it wil=
l cost a little bit more than that. So I have to charge two dollars for shi=
pping on two motors, and still only fiftey cents for each additional motor.=
If you want insurance on the babies, that cost's 85 cents. But it's a good=
idea, so if the package never shows up at your door you don't have to gril=
l me for not sending it. You simply tell me and the post office sends me mo=
ney, and I get you some more gearmotors. So I think I'll make insurance a n=
essesity. It protects both parties. E-mail me for more info, or =
