Robot motors have arrived!

March 1, 2005 | My Projects, Robotics | By: Mark VandeWettering

The motors that I ordered from American Science and Surplus arrived this morning. I got a pair of Trico windshield wiper motors, originally destined for installation in a Saturn, but now pinched to serve a more noble purpose. Haven’t powered ’em up yet, next stop: a deep cycle battery or gel cell.

Nothing like the smell of fresh grease to get those creative juices flowing.
