Eric HertzFound an image of the motors/worm-gear that seemed to be pretty much straight-on... so cropped and cleaned it a bit in gimp, then traced the bitmap into a path in inkscape, then output SCAD code via Make a 3D print from a 2D drawing...
Did some math... and I think I could actually cut a mating gear with a bit more math and measurements:

Very creative using three programs for that :)

Thanks :)

Gears... should be a form of art. Good luck with them :)
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks! :)
There's sure to be some backlash, and a bit of math
left, to make sure the measurements are right (don't have the actual
ones on-hand, so have to work from limited data). But I'm kinda proud of
having come up with this process to mate with an unknown/unspecified
gear :)
Did you look at that link for the motors? I bet they'd drop-in on your yellow motor-gearboxes, if you want to add encoders!
Are you sure? yes | no
they look neat, but I've already exceeded my shopping limits... It's this time of year again, where I don't hack but only buy stuff :D
Are you sure? yes | no
Did seem like your project-updates have slowed a bit, lately... now I know why!
Are you sure? yes | no
well this and work... I've crossed off two continents this year I've never been to before and was (actually still am) quite busy working. But now that I'm home I can use some time for projects again :)
Are you sure? yes | no
while I was traveling I had plenty of ideas and could only buy stuff for the projects and don't work on them too.
Are you sure? yes | no
clearly you need to have a hacker-toolkit to bring everywhere with you!
Are you sure? yes | no
