Window motors!
Where am I going to get Denso window motors? They are only 20-30 Watts but sometimes they are the PERFECT motor for the job -- and they are not backdriveable. Well, mostly non-backdriveabel. I remember 177 had a huge and awesome ball gripper in 1996. I think it was driven by two window motors and, to my great surprise at the time, if their arm was horizontal when the power when off, that gripper fell!

Anyway, I have no idea what sort of robot we'll be designing but odds are I will want some of those Denso motors. Any teams in the Boston Area willing to loan/donate a couple to BOOM DONE.?

PM me. I promise a shout out to you in one of our videos, whether we use them or not.

Joe J.
