These connectors are also included with one of the Throwbots.  I'm not sure
which one, because I've combined two of them, and I have sort of a 'Mech'
type thing on my desk, but it came from either 'Amazon' or 'Turbo'.  I think
it was Turbo.

And the $5.95 for a Throwbot has got to be cheaper than anything else...
