I just noticed the flex cables in the picture of this set in the latest • Shop at
Home catalog.  They look like bicycle brake cables.  That could be really
useful for transferring motor power to other parts of a model or robot. • And
probably more compact and reliable than using pneumatics!

I have been grappling with remote power delivery for a while. I ended up
buying
some chain links. Used with larger sized gear wheels, there seems to be
little
friction loss. I can highly recommend them.
