Solarbotics and the Useless Box have been mentioned in the Wall Street Journal article "Looking for Something Useful to Do With Your Time? Don't Try This"! It is dedicated to the historical overview of the uselessness starting with its invention in the 1950s to nowadays. The useless box can take many guises, names and materials […]
Closed Mon, Sept 6th, New Stuff

HEY! YOU! WE'LL BE CLOSED FOR LABOUR DAY AND THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! BAHAHAHA!
*Ahem*
It's true. On the day called Labour, we will be doing anything but. Why is that? Nobody knows. But a day off is a day off, so we ain't complaining. Standard stuff applies - we'll answer calls/emails and resume order processing/shipping on Tuesday the 7th.
Do you miss us already? Well, we have a lil' somethin' to comfort you. You like making things that use blinky lights, right? We've been working on adding some cool new stuff from Evil Mad Science for doing just that. Check out the Bulbdial, which is a neat-o clock that uses LEDs to cast shadows for the second/minute/hour hands. There's also the Meggy Jr. RBG, which is a programmable handheld gaming platform. We'll try to get more Evil Mad Science up for you early next week, so stay tuned.
In the mean time, have a great Labour Daybour Weekend!

I see the light!
When winter settles in around these parts, daylight doesn't seem to last too long. So like moths we tend to get excited about the new bright and shiny toys we bring in. Today we have Super Bright LEDs - they're the nifty little units we put in the HexPummer Lantern to create that extra pulse […]
New Distributors
Solarbotics would like to announce two new distributors, one in Italy, and the other in Mexico (who says robots aren't cool world-wide?): Robot-Italy is now our dealer out of the ancient city of Rome. We hope to visit them there one day! Our other new distributor is Robodacta, out of Mexico City. Another nice, warm, […]
