I know the trend is towards servos these days, but I have a geek fetish for mechanical things with gears and chains ;-)

    The EE support lab at my university has two of those robotic arms stuck on a back shelf. It's a perpetual project by the students who work in there: they pull it out and dust it off, maybe hook it up to a power supply, and then leave it at that. I must admit that I got sucked into it too. I bought 6 or 7 HB-25's on one of the daily deals in order to make the arm work again...
