Got these for 3.95 today

Two direct drive motors with foam wheels

Don't know what to do with it yet but for you beginning robot guys could be a good first start

    I purchased some of these from MPJA. They don't have nearly enough torque to propel themselves along the ground. Forget trying to get them to power a robot without some way of gearing them down.

    I do not recommend these for robot builders.

    Might be good for a ping pong ball shooter.
