too fast to control. buy a RPi 3A+ too, LiPo juice and triple check your robot's total weight. yes, you'll need to factor in the wheels as well :D

I'm definitely a Collector. No wonder they are out of stock.

For the sake of an extra ВЈ1 + VAT this version of the motor is a must. The motors are excellent and the full datasheet is appreciated. The value here is absurd, some places were trying to sell these for twice this price. The push header shim is basically amazing, prototype in your breadboard and then solder a couple of leads on far easier than trying to solder directly to the tabs on the motor. Great value and very useful.

The Micro Metal gear motors are great but the connectors to which you need to attach wires are quite small. Soldering is tricky and it is easy to melt the plastic at the base of the motor if you're not careful. Also, the connectors are prone to breaking if you pull on attached wires too hard. These connectors get rid of these problems as they're super easy to solder on and provide standard jumper pins for simple prototyping.
