Mechanics

General Suppliers

  • McMaster - Lots of options (even metric) but expensive! Local pickup available.
  • MSC Industrial Supply - Harder to use than McMaster but cheaper. Also local pickup.
  • SDP-SI - Another good supplier of parts
  • Small Parts - Source for smaller components not available elsewhere.
  • WM Berg - Many Drive Trains, Especially unusual ones!

Metal Suppliers

Aside from McMaster and MSC we can also get metal cheaper from scrap shops and local vendors. Here are some important links:

Random Robot Parts

  • Robot MarketPlace - Some good actuators/drive trains/chassis components. Note on this company, comparing their specs of their magmotors with those of the actual manufacturer, Robot Marketplace seems stretch things in some places, and then outright lie.
  • Trossen Robotics
