Monday May 24 is Victoria Day in Canada. We'll be using the old Queen's Birthday as an excuse to twiddle our toes in the grass and watch robots roam free. We'll be back to work Tuesday morning, bright and early!
Brutusbot Vids, Dragon PumLantern

January 26, 2012
Well, we have some good news and some bad news. First, the good. We've been keeping incredibly busy working on bringing in some new products. The bad news... We've been incredibly busy. So busy on new products (and a few big projects), in fact, that we don't really have anything ready to show you (yet). If the good news didn't interest you at all, try this: pies exist and they are delicious. This always has been and always will be good news. You can't debate the glory of fruit-filled pastries. And if the bad news didn't interest you either, just know that, unfortunately, scientists have not yet found develop rocket shoes. Bummer.
But that's all okay, because we still have three things to show you today. Starting off with Mark - a pal, conspirator, and compadre of Solarbotics and generally all-around okay dude - who has been conducting some experiments with the BrutusBot (which he helped develop). He's mounted a camera to it that records footage, which when watched makes the BrutusBot seem like some kinda... Alien stalker thing, creeping through your house like it's in a terrible sci-fi horror movie. Check out the action:
And our last item for today... Remember when we said that there weren't any new products to show off? Well, that was kinda mostly true. We certainly have a (single) new option to show off for a product. Yana, our fantastical graphic designer, has whipped up a slick new dragon theme for the PumLantern to celebrate Chinese New Year. It's available in all our standard lantern colours, and looks particularly good in, well, any of them.
So that pretty much wraps things up for another week. You can expect another (hopefully more so) positively riveting newspost from us after another seven rotations of the Earth...
