Re: Cheap Electrical Parts

A few ideas:

- Go garage-saling and look for a Power Wheels ride-on toy to scavenge
- Cordless drills are a source of high-torque motors and gearboxes (and a throwback to how FRC bots used to be made)
- AndyMark's Cheap and Dirty R/C system as previously mentioned
- (For smaller projects) Continuous rotation servos can serve as an all-in-one PWM controller, motor and gearbox
