It's really nice to receive pics of projects people have built out of our book "Junkbots". Here's one of the latest: the Pendulum by Christopher Pepe. Nice magnetic suspension mechanism! Read More...
As the crisis continues, we received more and more email notices from suppliers & vendors offering us "assistance" in this "time of need".
I am so TIRED of hearing about this ineffectual "help" coming from companies that have reported huge profits over the last 5 years. It's time to step up and act like humans, and volunteer to help your customers & clients. Don't make us jump through more hoops. We're already stressed and overloaded. I'm way too busy trying to keep our small business afloat and keeping what staff we have left employed to play these games. Corporations may be persons under the law, but some certainly have more heart than others.
In contrast, what are we getting from the small companies we deal with LOCALLY?
A sincere thank-you to our fellow small businesses that are reaching out to us with real offers of help.
Stay safe,
Dave Hrynkiw
President Solarbotics & Active Tech Calgary

Secondly, it's using the Parallax Propeller chip now, for mucho-improved computational power. They're already out of stock at Parallax, so get them […]
Here we go, it’s the W day again. Seems like the previous one was two infinities ago. During that infinite time we had plenty of opportunities to pick the interesting stuff floating around internets, and bring it to you: Headphone Light Show EL (electroluminescent) wire is a cool thing. Add it to the headphones and […]
The night before WCRG, and all through the office, not a creature was stirring...except two dozen mini-sumo robots - AAAHH! Thanks to Alberta Printed Circuits, we were able to sponsor a mini-sumo workshop to build 24 robots to compete in the next day's Western Canadian Robot Games.
