Pendulum Robotics

Quick-turn, purpose-built motors & actuators for all

Review noteTwo-person YC Fall 2026 company in Los Angeles that says it will design and build custom drone motors and robot actuators. Right now its website is mostly a US stockist of Chinese CubeMars actuators plus its own stators, so treat the 'factory making thousands of motors a month' claim on its YC page as unverified.
