Go to a local Sam's Club and get the 8-pack of Throwbots for $34.99 ... much
cheaper than the $6x8 = $48 "retail" for all of them.

only allows a rack mounted on a single plate - not very structural. The
worm gear box does not let the worm protrude far enough to mesh with the
rack - ARGGGHHH.

Those new parts are so COOL though. I'll have to hold them some more
to figure out if they can be useful for other things...
