We're looking for suppliers of small, efficient DC motors. A mass of 50g would be ideal and we want the maximum torque/mass ratio! Motors with rare-earth magnets are reported to be superior, but we know of only one supplier of RE magnet motors. So far we have information about two Swiss companies: Minimotor SA, Agno, Switzerland (Their Type 2444 has RE magnets) and Maxon, ??? (haven't rec'd a catalogue from their Australian agent yet!) There must be many others. If you know of any suppliers, pls let us know their names (If you know a fax number, that's great for us on this side of the world, otherwise mail eventually gets there. Phone numbers only lead to sleepless nights over here!! However I'll make a summary, so they may be useful for others.)

Atilla, built by Rod Brooks' lab at MIT, uses Minimotor SA motors. John Nagle
