Sounds good to me. I have to send it back for laser engraving first though. I
could have left it, but I wanted to bring it home to show off first :).

See ya,

AFAIK there's no 'swearing' to one or another. Freeforming has it's
possibilities and limitations as do PCB's. I can think of a number of
reasons that my BEAM-ant cirquit would be better off with a PCB which is my
next project. IMHO freeforming tends to result in somewhat more compact
bots. However, when complexity arises PCB's can be a godsent.

isn't appearance a part of design?

Someone was looking for Super Strong, super small, super cheap magnets.
I think I have found these. Take a look at:

http://www.wondermagnet.com/dev/magnet3.html

They also have other sizes & some motors that look like from cassette
tape players. And don't forget to look at what people use their magnets
for. Entertaining.

ITEM #3





Price: $1.50 ea.



dimensions: 2mm diameter 1mm thick


Here you get 10 tiny GOLD plated disc magnets 2mm diameter
X 1mm thick. In other words, you get 10 magnets for one price.
Incredibly strong for their size, one of these magnets will hold a 8.5 X
11 sheet of paper to the fridge! Not too dangerous due to their tiny
size. Keep in mind, when ordering these our minimum shipping charge of
$4.00...you might want to order lots, or get something else so that
shipping charges don't outweigh the price of the goods!

Your spending a lot of time and effort when you dont have to.

We all know how hard those weights are. I am impressed that someone has actually
managed to grind one down. I used a bench grinder on one once and i only just
scratched it, no actualy metal loss. Use that metals hardness against it. In less
than three turns of a vice handle you will be free of those pesky weights!

William.....I will put my money where my mouth is. If you try this and stuff your
motor then let me know and i will replace it! If you do it and it works then
please let everyone one else know. I think its the best method becuase its _so_
quick and safe for the motor.
