For those who were asking about my grip material, this is what I bought: Linky.

They also do sheets, shapes, etc.

Thanks for the link Scott, looks great.

I'm looking for a supplier of the TB6612FNG chip as used on the Baby O and I think Peter uses them on his boards, but not sure on that. I can only seem to find them already built onto breakout boards in the UK which I don't want. Other than that I've only managed to find them on digikey but delivery is quite expensive since I won't make the £50 free shipping limit. I also came across a EOL announcement for the TB6612FNG from late late last year so perhaps that's why I'm having such difficulties. Thanks.

Just a word of warning the grippy tape has a $38 delivery charge but still worth it.
On the TB6612FNG I bought mine from Digikey as I couldn't find a British supplier.

Hmm, I paid $16.95 for shipping, so I'd re-check that :P.

Maybe it is because I ordered two rolls as with all my robot especially the tracked ones and the minisumo and micromouse one roll wouldn't have lasted very long. I have fired off an email to them to check it is correct just in case as two shouldn't cost more than twice as much to deliver than one.

Had no reply but have had two emails saying the goods have been dispatched with different tracking numbers so it sounds like they have sent each roll seperately, are well you win some and you lose some.

I managed to break some of the 3d printing while I was working on the new Void, so I need to re-order it. Annoyingly, it's only a little part, so I'd end up paying more for shipping than for the part itself. I was wondering if anyone else was planning on doing a Shapeways order in the near future, and if so, if they'd mind adding my part onto their order and then just posting it to me when it arrives? I'd cover all costs, of course.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,

I'll be making an order in the next 2-4 weeks, depending on when I get the work done in sketchup. Not sure if that's soon enough for you, but the offer is there if you need it.

http://www.motionco.co.uk is another site for small gears and such. I've just recieved an order of some micro chain and sprockets that I'm looking at using for Void's drive, and the delivery was super fast. In addition, the chain they sent me was a bit short, so I contacted them and had a response almost immediately saiyng they would send me some more out, so can't fault their customer service either.
