....I hadn't even noticed the terrific new offerings on the Parallax Web store, including well made premade jumpers, resistor packs, LED assortments, and a bunch of other niceties.

Would like to see either strips of the double-long headers, or a pack of the 3-per sets they currently sell. Maybe they're there, but I didn't see them. I'm always recommending them as part of robots built with solderless breadboards. .

They also have a nice new gear motor with encoder. Unfortunately they don't list the gear ratio.
I was wondering that too. It might be the same motor offering here:
http://www.parallax.com/sites/default/files/downloads/570-00080-Motor-Bracket-Wheel-Kit-Guide-v1.0.pdf
Which also does not list the ratio. I guess the ratio can be determined from the info in the pdf, IF it is the same motor.
Maybe 30:1 ?
If it's the same motor, then I think you're correct.
I can confirm that the 6-15V Gear Motor with Encoder: http://www.parallax.com/product/28819
...is indeed the same one currently used in the Motor, Bracket and Wheel Kit: http://www.parallax.com/product/570-00080
I don't have the gear ratio information, but I will inquire.
I can offer bulk packs of pre-burned out LEDs, preowned and pre-blown I/O pins on micros, pre-bent IC pins, pre-smoked resistors, etc . Eliminate the middleman! Who's got the time to blow things up themselves, anyway?
I sent Chris a couple motors a while back when they were looking for sources. Those motors look a lot like the ones I sent but they could just as well be from another factory. If they are the same then I could provide those details but in order to avoid confusion I will wait for verification.
