Mcdonald toy gear boxes. I hook up a pager motor to
it and works great. I have a 1 arm turbot crawling
around in my RJP. But I am am building a 2 armed one
now. My tip is try a 1 arm first than move up in
complexity by going 2 arms. Besides the 1 arm one
won't kill any of your bots. =)

For my free former photovore I used the 1 turn pot.
It's a lot better only because you can tune your bot
really quick(in a half a turn or so). It's alot
better than turnning and then testing your bot using a
20 or so trimpot.
