MECI has(had?) these for less then 20$US. NOt a bad motor at around 12V, but
at BEAM voltages(Typically 3-5v) they are too compliant. THe legs won't lift
high enough to do anything. Not too bad for larger Photovores. I had a
Suneater running some. Real well. Right off my desk. One day I'll put a page
up of my bots...
