Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Once more, a reminder for the Lego MotorsMini
The U.S. part ain't a problem, and i can stand shipping
Lego doesn't charge anything for shipping.
but sheesh, $11.00 that is a bit pricy, but i suppose thats the price you
pay for a good bot!
ha! $11.00 is CHEAP. Yeah, yeah. We all know BEAM *sounded* like it would be
inexpensive in the beginging, but you'll run up a handsome tab in due time.
Do they have any other models that are cheaper?
Don't know, but refer to the comment above. As is, I'm surprised these
motors are only $11.
Size doesn't matter too much to
me,
These are really small.
i just like to find some kind of servol or motor that is consistant and
"price efficient"
If you want any sort of effeciency, you really are going to have to shell
out 12 or 15 dollars for a servo motor, which really are the best way to
start out. If you really want CHEAP CHEAP stuff, you'll have to look around
your home town. Things ordered away will only come so inexpensive. Check out
Flea markets and the like.
