Grant and I are back from Portland. Nice damp city, that one...reminds me of where I grew up in B.C. We had a great time under the hospices of Monty Goodson and the rest of the PDXBot crew. We had a good time seeing cool new custom robots by Josh Triska (1st place Advanced Mini-Sumo […]
At the Expo!

April 27, 2012
Bad news, everyone - we don't have any new OR shiny things to show off today. That's because we've been busy packing up to attend the Calgary Comic Expo, which runs this weekend, from the 27th to the 29th. We have a booth set up and will be showing off some of our cool stuff, alongside the Western Canadian Robotics Society and Protospace (Calgary's hackerspace). What kind of stuff? Aside from a selection of kits, LilyPad and Arduino goodness, we're bringing a limited-edition Useless Box for the show as well as some nifty mini-lantern giveaways to go with anyone that comes by and makes a purchase. So if you're in the area, swing on by to say hello. And if you're not in the area, well, we hope you have a great (if not slightly less-awesome) weekend.

Sumobot Circuits
We've been having fun playing with the L293D driver chip. It's one of those things to see how much you can make it do by itself (like with any BEAM application!). Grant McKee has been experimenting with some simple additions to the chip to make it (unto itself) a suitable brain for a simple mini-sumo […]
