We're keepin' it wheel with this one! Plastic gear-box motors (also known as 'TT' motors) are an easy and low cost way to get your projects moving. But we've noticed that there are not a lot of nice TT motor wheels to go along with them. This Thin White Wheel has solid heft, but it won't make your robot bulky. Despite looking a lot like our continuous rotation servo...

Usually when one needs an orange wheel it's a garnish for a cocktail, like a tasty Sidecar. And speaking of cars, this wheel is for driving, not drinking! Need a great drive solution for your little robotic friends? This Orange & Clear TT Motor Wheel is equipped with a nice, thick silicone tread and a press-fit design to make connecting super quick and easy. Make...

This tiny DC Motor in Micro Servo Body is an interesting motor - it's the same size and shape as our micro servo but it isn't a servo. It's more like a DC motor + plastic gear-train in a box. It's not a super powerful motor, it would do well as a little robot wheel. It's also a lot less expensive than a micro servo (continuous or non-continuous) because there is no...

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...

Plastic gear-box motors (also known as 'TT' motors) are an easy and low cost way to get your projects moving. But we've noticed that there are not a lot of nice TT motor wheels to go along with them. This TT DC Motor Wheel is solid, but thin, so it won't make your robot bulky. It even comes in Adafruit black! Each order comes with one wheel, one silicone tire, and a...

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...

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...

Perhaps you've been assembling a new robot friend, adding a computer for a brain and other fun personality touches. Now the time has come to let it leave the nest and fly on its own wings– err, wheels! These durable (but affordable!) plastic gearbox motors (also known as 'TT' motors) are an easy, low-cost way to get your projects moving. This is a TT DC Gearbox...

These are standard '130 size' DC hobby motors. They come with a wider operating range than most toy motors: from 4.5 to 9VDC instead of 1.5-4.5V. This range makes them perfect for controlling with an Adafruit Motor Shield, or with an Arduino where you are more likely to have 5 or 9V available than a high current 3V setting. They'll fit in most electronics that...

Adding to our collection of somewhat specialized motors, this Rotating Door Lock Motor is a DC Gearbox motor with a little pocket that is intended for a door lock mechanism. The motor only turns 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise and will stall (but not strip) if you try to keep running it past the angle. It's geared down so it has high torque, but that also...

These durable (but affordable!) gearbox motors (also known as 'TT' motors) are an easy, low-cost way to get your projects moving. This is a TT DC Bi-Metal Gearbox Motor with a gear ratio of 1:90, about double the 'standard' 1:48 ratio. That gives them higher torque but slower rotational speed. Since they're slower, they're good for robots where strength is more...

For advanced robotics projects, a simple hobby servo motor won't have the repeatability and control you need. When a better class of servo motor is required, folks have always turned to DYNAMIXEL motors! The DYNAMIXEL is a smart actuator system developed to be the exclusive connecting joints on a robot or mechanical structure. DYNAMIXELS’ are designed to be...
