Poor quality parts will break, and you will be frustrated and wish you had just done it right in the first place.

I've never built a 30, but I think two small CIMs would be a decent power source (although, compared to more expensive motors they have a poor power to weight ratio).
Its not that I have low funds. Its that I don't want to spend a lot of funds. I'd hate to buy some of the whyachi products and have my bot get trashed - thereby wasting my money.

If I remain conservative, and my robot is destroyed, then I won't be losing very much - capisci?

CIMs seem like they might be a reasonable alternative. If I use the NBDs approach I might be able to keep the weight down.

Thanks everyone!
