Bring back seat motors!

Those things are so small, torquey and easy to implement into a design... the ultimate mechanism motor.

Heck... back in the day, all they had to work with was seat motors. (Back when the walk to school was uphill both ways, in the snow.)

Whatever we get... I'll be happy. The Globe is a good motor, but it has it's limitations. (Ever accidently put a side-load on a globe motor? Oops!)

Almost time guys!
