I truly believe that a discussion on electro-mechanical components, actuators etc. deserves a sub forum, instead of having to resource to the Off Topic section when one wants to discuss this sort of thing. It's in this site's best interest, I'm sure. There's tons of people out there with plenty of projects they might want to share with others, or help others with. I'm sure of it, because that's how I make a living.
