Re: CIM-U-LATORS
In the back of my mind, I'm also having the thought of using some generic chinese cordless drill gearboxes. Might not be the strongest out there, but they're cheap, and likely come with a plain-jane 550 sized motor. The only trick would be pressing the pinion off the existing motor, or perhaps you'd get lucky, and one of the planet gears (from a second one) would be the same as the pinion needed.
Here's another good link http://kamocat.com/robot/planetary.php
Of course, this wouldn't be like a CIM, but still would be rather useful.
