Hi. I'm new here. Thought I might as well start off by being useful. Kind of. Maybe. Probably not...
Anyway, I've just started playing about with robotics, and have ordered various bits and bobs to experiment with. Some of those bits and bobs are a selection of little 3v motors that I want to try out to see how they compare. Since I haven't got them yet, I can't proffer much info about them, but here's a couple of links for you to take a look yourself.

I suspect that buying motors at £0.28 - £0.45 each (less for bulk orders) would be an order of magnitude or so more economical than buying toys to rip them out of. You might have to hunt down a local supplier though, if you're not in the UK.
Also, if anyone knows of a UK supplier of pager motors, could you drop me a line? Thanks.
