More stock of FingerTech Aluminum Pulleys has just arrived. We got twice as many 15T and 42T this time since they are so popular.

Have you checked out our customer map? Try and find yourself! Pins are placed by zip/postal code, so if a pin is close to you, chances are it is you!

We have just added 11 more Timing Belt sizes to bring the selection up to 28 belts!
The pulley center-distance calculator has also been updated to include the new sizes.

July Updates

Have you tried our handy pulley center-distance calculator for our S3M timing pulleys and belts? Pick from our available pulley and belt sizes and it will tell you how far apart they will be!
It can be found in our How-To section.

June Updates

We have a new distributer in Sweden! Hobbytronik now carries Spark Motors, Lite Hubs, S3M Pulleys and Belts!

Just added: 3mm Bearings for Spark motors. If you robot has to take a lot of abuse - landing hard on the wheels, etc - these 3mm ball bearings are perfect for distributing the force into the frame.

Just added: Mecanum Wheel Bearing Upgrade Kits! Improve sideways translation from 75-80% (original) up to 85-100%!

May Updates

We are running low on our (super popular!) Spark motors. If you need some and they are out of stock, try our distributors - ie the Robot MarketPlace.

A big congratulations to our friends at the University of Toronto for their 1st Place finish in the 120lb Middleweight Combat Division at the 2010 RoboGames!
A good news writeup can be seen here: UofT Robot Crushes Competition at RoboGames.

FingerTech's "Viper" Basic Robot Kits, Spark Motors, and Mecanum Wheels are now available at Robot Marketplace!

Tomorrow (Friday May 14) we will be attending the Western Canada Robot Games (WCRG). Orders will ship Monday.

April Updates

We will be attending RoboGames in San Fransisco so orders placed after April 21 will be shipped on April 28. If you will be there, try to find us and say hi! It won't be easy though, because we'll be wandering around checking out all the different display and contests!

March Updates

The Groundhog Day Sale has ended. If you missed out on the 20% off coupons, post your videos anyway because they will count towards future sales!

February Updates

We now carry two new colors of garolite! There is a rich red color, and a cool army fatigues camouflage! And of course the always popular blue and black garo.

Groundhog Day Sale? Why not!

More of a promotion than a sale perhaps. Here is where you get to show off all of your robot projects!

If you have used a product from our site (even if you bought it somewhere else originally!) in a robot or other project, record a quick video of it in action and post it on YouTube.

Then click "Review This Product" on our product webpage and post a link to your video with a quick description of it and the product used.

Each video/review will earn you 5% off on your next order up to a maximum of 20% off.

If you place an order before the end date, keep posting videos because you can earn up to 20% off again!

Since Punxsutawney Phil (USA) and Wiarton Willie (Canada) both just predicted that we are to have six more weeks of winter, this promotion will last six weeks! Ends March 16.

Tiny Details:
- Please no blurry or dark videos. People want to see what you've made! Also nothing indecent or offensive.
- The review must have something useful to say about the product.
- Feel free to review multiple products with the same robot/project (but different videos).
- You can also review one product with multiple robots/projects.
- Using the same robot in multiple reviews of one product will not earn a larger discount.
- All videos are subject to approval.
- This is not an automatic discount. When you are ready to order, please send us an email listing the videos you posted and we will send you a coupon code to enter during checkout.
- Discount coupons will not expire. Videos submitted after March 16 are welcome, but will not earn a discount.

FingerTech Spark Motors are here! Dozens of these motors have already proven themselves in combat events. We have put them through some vigorous testing to give you the most accurate data possible. Check out the product page for actual speed, torque, voltage and current ratings.

January Updates

Happy New Year everyone!
FingerTech Lite Hubs have been upgraded! For the same price you now get super strong brass collars with longer setscrews that can be tightened down onto the motor shaft as hard as you want!
