Every year a group of my friends have an engineering Secret Santa. The rules are simple: make something cool for under $20 that requires engineering to complete. In years past we’ve seen Google cardboard VR headsets that are 6DOF, match stick rockets, 3D printed fans that explode when used, 3D printed rockets with cardboard launch […]

It's always nice to get feedback (especially when it's complementary!):
I have to let you know about my experience with your company this Christmas season. I wanted to purchase a robotic kit for my husband who had never build a kit before. I called to get some information as I am very much a novice, the help I received was wonderful! I was given a couple websites to look at as well as all the wonderful information I was given. After some more research I placed my order. I sent an email to get a tracking number only to find that my package had already been sent and was sent in a way were it would be at my home the following day!
I think that often companies only hear the complaints but never compliments on the wonderful service that they provide each day. Thank you so very very much, it was a complete pleasure doing business with Solarbotics.

I just wanted to say that I have put together several "solder by numbers" kits as I like to call them. Today I received my order form Solarbotics and when I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised. They didn't come in a box that was huge and filled with foam. The box was just big enough and everything was packaged VERY neatly and professionally. When I started building my kits (3 different kits) I was again pleasantly surprised by how concise and easy the instructions were. I will recommend your company to all my "do it yourself" hobbyists.
Thank you for a pleasant project night!

We've been working with the Chinook Mall since they did a retrofit a decade ago, where they really amped up the mall, making it the keynote shopping centre of Calgary. One of their features is the "Time Capsule Clock", which sits in the floor of the center court, where a 1000 year time capsule waits […]
