*BZZZZZZZZZZ* Feel that? That's your little buzzing motor, and for any haptic feedback project you'll want to pick up a few of them. These vibe motors are tiny discs, completely sealed up so they're easy to use and embed. Two wires are used to control/power the vibe. Simply provide power from a battery or microcontroller pin (red is positive, blue is negative) and it...

Three rows in a right angle header!? Yes! These chunks of 0.1" header has yet-another-row - handy for when you want to connect cables that come in sets of three, like perhaps sensors, or servos. These plug into any standard 0.1" spacing perf-boards or other PCBs and work nicely with our female-ended wire sets. Comes in a set of four pieces, each piece is 3 rows by 4...

Get your robot rolling with this durable and smooth metal ball caster. We like the size (not too big, not too small) and surprisingly smooth motion of this caster. It's also really easy to attach, with two screw mounts (and included screws) that will allow you to attach it to any material up to 5mm thick. Ball Caster - 3/4" Metal Ball (7:53)

This tubing is designed to go with our simple submersible pumps. Great for making water-powered projects. This tubing seems to be made of PVC, it's definitely not food safe, we recommend it for use with plant-watering or fountain projects only. It's super easy to cut and you get a full meter!

Sprockets, wheels, and gears, oh my! We really like our DC hobby motors but unless you have a 3D printer it can be a challenge to get fun add-ons. That's why we've got this 3-Bladed Tri-foil Propeller - it snaps on like a breeze (pun intended!) perfect for making a fan, blowing bubbles, or propelling something through the air. Comes 1 x per order

This soft and flexible silicone tubing is designed to go with our simple air pumps. Great for making air-powered projects with our set of air pumps and vacuums as well as air valves. Need to split or adapt this tubing? Our T connectors are a great match. Has an inner diameter of 3mm, but is stretchy so we could easily fit it onto ports of 4mm OD. This tubing is made...

Sprockets, wheels, and gears, oh my! We really like our DC gear motors (a.k.a "TT Motor") but unless you have a 3D printer it can be a challenge to get something attached to the axle. That's why we've got this TT Motor Hub - it snaps onto the end and gives you two big flanges with holes. It's a very good solution to quickly and easily mount custom wheels, cardboard...

Move fluid from here to there with this very nice elastomeric silicone tubing, specifically for our peristaltic pumps. It's one meter long and fully silicone with the correct diameter to give great peristaltic performance. This silicone tubing is not sterile and might get a lil' dirty on its way to you. So, before first use, we recommend it be sterilized by boiling...

Mechanical transmission for the win, this simple plastic pulley can attach to your TT motor to transmit rotation from the motor axle to...somewhere else. This is a very useful part when you require more than wheels for your robotics project. A belt and pulley solution can be light-weight and very efficient. This TT Motor Pulley has a slot for fitting onto our DC...

Move fluid safely from here to there with this very nice Peristaltic Pump that works with 5V or 6V power. Unlike most liquid pumps, this is a peristaltic type - the pump squishes the silicone tubing that contains the liquid instead of impelling it directly. The upshot? The pump never touches the fluid which makes this an excellent choice for any...

Get your 'bot rolling with this durable and smooth steel ball caster. We like the size (not too big, not too small) and surprisingly fluid motion of this caster. It's also really easy to attach, with two screw mounts that will allow you to attach it to any chassis material. Note that it doesn't come with any mounting hardware, use 4-40 or M3 screws to attach to...

These go great with our silicone tubing for air pumps and valves - great for making adapters or splitters. The three ports have an outer diameter of about 4mm, so 3mm ID silicone tubing will make a nice seal. Comes in a pack of 5, so you have plenty to mess with.

These go great with our silicone tubing for air pumps and valves - great for making adapters or extenders. The two ports have an outer diameter of about 4mm, so 2-3mm ID silicone tubing will make a nice seal. Comes in a pack of 5, so you have plenty to mess with.

We couldn't let the DC Gearbox "TT" motors have all the fun! If you're using some sort of motor, there's a really good chance it's a low cost DC Motor in "130 Size". We stock these in the shop, they're the most basic kind of motor, very inexpensive and easy to find around the world. DC hobby motors are typically cheap and easy to use, but can be tricky to mount onto...

Who doesn't love LEGO® compatible bricks? Nobody! Except when we accidentally step on them. There are soooo many mechanical things one can make with those ubiquitous bricks, plates, gears, pulleys. Say a 13-meter high London Tower Bridge... But what do you do when you want to add LEGO® compatible bricks and parts to your robotics project? This is the axle you...

What's this? A record player for ants?? Not at all! This is a DVD/CD Spindle Motor, that thing that's inside a CD or DVD player, that turns the disc around really fast. These motors have some great benefits that make them easier to use than '130' style DC hobby motors For one, they're mostly flat on the end, so you can tape or glue it to a flat surface easily.They...

This Multi-Hub Wheel is solid, a lil' chunky, but it won't make your robot bulky. It even comes in Adafruit black! Each order comes with one wheel and two different sized hubs to make connecting super quick and easy. The hubs may come attached to the wheel with a little plastic flashing, so you'll want diagonal cutters to trim them out or you can twist them out The...

If you're unfamiliar with mecanum wheels, this Matching Left & Right pack of 48mm Diameter Mecanum Wheels may resemble everyday chunky wheels Frankenstein'd out of mini hair curler rollers. In reality, they are very cool, omnidirectional wheels with rollers that are supported by ball-bearings, allowing a four-wheeled robot to move in any direction. There are nine...

Fill it up with your favorite edible goodies – heck, fill it with your favorite electronic goodies if you want. From bananas to breadboards,...

If you have any LEGO Mindstorm or EV3 sensors/motors/controllers you probably noticed the phone-cable-like connectors that are used to go from accessories to controller boards. However, you can't use every-day phone jacks or cables because the little plastic clip is on the sidenot the center. No need to give up your dreams of interfacing with NXT parts, though! These...

Need a great drive solution or a pop of color for your little robotic friends? This TT Motor Paddle Wheel Pack offers 3 fun, candy-colored wheels with a press-fit design to make connecting super quick and easy. While they seem to be designed for some sort of water-wheel configuration, we like them because they fit securely on TT motor axles and provide a ton of...

Plastic gear-box motors (also known as 'TT' motors) are an easy and low cost way to get your projects moving. They're low cost, durable, and easy to use. The trade-off for those low cost hobby motors is that they don't have any way of knowing their speed or location. Basically you send voltage in and get rotation out. Really expensive motors have encoders built in,...

Who doesn't love LEGO and compatible bricks? Nobody! Except when we accidentally step on them. There are soooo many mechanical things one can make with those ubiquitous bricks, plates, gears, pulleys. Say a 13-meter high LEGO London Tower Bridge... But what do you do when you want to add LEGO-compatible bricks and parts to your servo arms and horns? This is the...

If you bought a servo from us you probably got a bunch of plastic add-ons that you can snap onto the rotating part of the servo. These are called 'servo horns' and the standard ones you'll get are plastic pieces. They're good but often short and not very strong plastic. This Machined Aluminum Servo Arm lets you bring your A-Game to servo projects. It's strong...

When your little robot needs someone to lean on, it can lean on this support wheel. Perfect for use with 2-wheeled robots that need a third-point of support, this Support Wheel comes attached to a mounting plate and with 4x screws and 4x nuts for fastening to any robot or project. It can rotate a full 360° on the plate and the sleek black metal look suits any...

We really enjoy our DC gear motors (a.k.a "TT Motor") but unless you have a 3D printer it can be a challenge to get something attached to the axle. That's why we've got this Eccentric TT Motor Hub - it gives you 2 x hexagonal holes and two circle holes. It's a very good solution to quickly and easily mount custom wheels, cardboard & wood, or other mechanisms to...
