Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a source of BG Micro Motors for a microcore. Does anyone
know where I can find them??

Thank you very much
-Pete

it was drunk? (:

That episode showed "Cricket" over and over, kinda like a transition scene"

Is that the same episode that is airing?

I want to know if I should tape it, cau


Speaking of Spyder, I found the same assembly Mark T used for the eyes
(asthetic definitely, functional??? I don't know). They look very nice,
but I may save them for Quadrapod (lens assemblys that nice don't pop up
every day!). I also have a micro camera and a matching 2.4 GHz video
transmitter and reciever. I look forward to the day that I can begin
worknig on the mechanical aspects of Quadrapod. I haven't done anything
cause I can't afford the motors and mechanical stuff. Easiest would be
to buy a Lynxmotion Hexapod II and hack it up, but $375 is over my price
margin! $100 is over my price margin! :)
