In an effort to keep the price low I found a great source for the 5VDPDT relay for the "Mousey the Junk Bot" Competition. Price is $1.25 each and if we order at least 10 then it will be $1.10 each. Shipping will be $7.00 regardless of how many we order. So the more people who want some the cheaper it will be.

ie. If we order 5 it will be $6.25 + $7.00 S/H divided by 5. So it would cost each person $2.65. Order 10 it would be $1.80 per person.

I will submit the order on Sunday March 8th in hopes of getting the parts by the next meeting.

Anyone needing the relay please reply to this post by 12:00 PM Sunday March 8th. Payment can be made when you get your parts.

Note: The only local source you can get the relay is at Randolph and Rice downtown for about $4.00. They may try selling you the $20.00 one first. Yes $20.00.

If anyone is looking for motors the one that Dustin found in a personal pocket fan from Dollar General will work. See "Patricks Junkbot" video for test results with this motor.

Patrick,

Would you please order a relay for me? Thanks. Ben Perlin

Ben,

I have you down for one.

See you at the next meet.

Patrick

Relays have been ordered.

Do we need to make sure we get the other parts for ourselves?

I just saw Patrick's mousebot video. Nice! Were those the exact motors I described earlier... being powered by 9v safely?
I have a robot using these motors, and it needs more power. I just want to make sure before I potentially burn them out.

Steve,

I started the "Mousey the Junk Bot Parts Donation List" post to see what we have and what we still need to have donated. Hope that helps.
