This may come as a bit of a shock to you, but the hands that package your orders actually belong to humans. Sure, we may be a robot company, but robo-hands just aren't quite up to spec for what we need to do. So for the moment we're staffed by a contingent of mortals, and […]

August 14, 2000
August 14, 2000 - Canadian National Exhibition and California State Exhibition Quick news: I'm (that'd be me - Dave) off to Toronto to go attend the Canadian National Exhibition (otherwise known as "The Ex") from August 18 to September 4. In attendance will be myself (Dave Hrynkiw), Scott Martin, Mark Dalton, and to lesser degrees Andrew Miller, Richard Weait, Mike Treceiski, Amar Bedi (all the way from India), and yes, even Mark Tilden himself. We'll be exhibiting BEAM and Solarbotics stuff, with working demonstrations on assembly techniques. That is, we'll be building right there! Come on over to the Automotive Building and say hi!
At the same time, we will have a display at the California State Exhibition. Expect to see a ScoutWalker 2 with SunSeeker Head, two Miniballs, a BRUTE of a Unicore BEAMant prototype, a Turbot Prototype, and some Symets. Additionally, Mr. J. Vernon also has a selection of his creations at the display! Although we won't be there ourselves at the display, come on out and have a look-see. (anybody want to blow a roll of film on the exhibit? We'll trade a PhotoPopper kit for it!) Also new: Finally revamped and put the SunDancer Magbot Butterfly PDF instruction file online.

Heated Car Seat Teardown and Repair
Here's a little makeover of an inexpensive aftermarket car seat heating pad that stopped working. Designed to activate and warm up when sat upon, the electronics face a fair amount of abuse: since the seat is a soft frame, the wires inside constantly move and flex with the body. They are also subject to harsh […]
