Subject: [alt-beam] BGM motors


I just received my new BGMicro motors in the mail
recently and I removed them from the optical assembly.
They still contain a few gears attached and I'd like
to know if anyone has a suggestion as to how to remove
the plastic gears on the end of the shafts. Thanks
for the advice in advance (please send reply to my
personal email and not the list).

Thanks,

Travis

To try something new and perhaps even find a building method I prefer to
free-forming, I've built the usual photopopper photovore on a Perf board. I
knew I'd need to cut it so I bought a X-acto Razor Saw. Guess what- that
razor saw doesn't work so well. Not well at all. I had no idea perf board was
so hard to cut.
The question is: How would I go about cutting this stuff? What methods do you
use?

Thanks
-Brien the TurtleTek

twice where I want to cut it, and it pretty much snaps apart after you
score it.
