I don't know enough to contribute substantially, but I'd love for  
this to be discussed on-list --- the -blabber list has been kind of  
low-traffic lately, and getting my mechanical doohickeys to operate  
properly has always been one of my weak spots.

Bill Beaty mentions some of them on his web page, but another source  
for smallish mechanicals is hobby-robot and battle-bot suppliers,  
like Trossen and Pololu.
