Re: Where are the globe motors?

I'm sad to see the Globe motors go, they were a relatively powerful motor for use with arm-like manipulators and didn't require odd mounting schemes or tearing apart of transmissions to use like the Fisher Price motors (they also don't light on fire when you stall them...). The Globes always filled a nice spot on our team since CIMs would go straight on our drive and the non-back-drivable part of Window motors isn't always desirable.

On the up side 5 CIMs this year
