The Western Canadian Robot Games are close at hand (umm... this weekend!), and in response to popular request, we're cranking up the SolarSpeeder contest again! Ever built a Solarbotics SolarSpeeder? Bring it down to the games, enter at our booth (free!), and we'll run a SolarSpeeder target race. Aim your racer at a 10cm (4") […]
Catalog glitches...
Dave Hrynkiw

Grrr... Time to start handing out the 1000 lashes with a wet noodle. There's a few pricing errors in the new catalog 6:
- The RM2 motor is not 2 for $10.75/ea CDN - it's 1 for $3.40 or 2 for $2.85/ea CDN
- The SC2422 solar cell is not 2 for 2.55/ea USD - it's 2 for $3.25/ea USD
- The GM8 and GM9 gear motors are not $5.50/ea - they're $10.55/ea CDN
Sorry about the confusion, folks. I wish we could afford to honour the under-pricing and correct just the over-pricing, but we have a staff to feed and free community servers (www.solarbotics.net) to support!

BEAM as part of thesis work
Rory Nugent (of Solar Xylophone fame) has posted his thesis presentation to the Interactive Telecommunications Program, which heavily features BEAM devices. By "building things with a sense of life", he's documenting what we've known for a good while - autonomous devices ("pets") offer unusual interesting relationships. Keep up the good work!
BEP Application: Turbot
The Turbot is a member of the Scophthalmidae family of flatfish and is almost completely circular. Turbot is often found partially buried in the seabed in sand, gravel, rocks and sediment. Its fat content varies, but it usually contains roughly 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids per 100g fillet. Barring advances in genetic engineering, we will not be building that kind of Turbot. However, this kind of Turbot can be built with a soldering iron.
