and the quality isn't the best. Any of my components I order from Digikey,
or at the odd time Mouser. Digikey is my personal fav, aside from my local
store which doesn't have everything I want, but in an emergency I can get
something quickly.

about the best you'll ever find for doing rover-type
bots like bicore photovores and beamants. They are
extremely eifficient. The motor will run directly off
a 24x33 solarpanel under a 60 watt bulb from a foot
away. This makes full time solar power possible..
So... get em while you can.
