Just a quick note to remind everyone that we are closed on Remembrance Day - Tuesday November 11 and will resume responding to phone calls and emails tomorrow.
So last week we put the EZ-B Robot Controller Suite up for sale, and what appears up on Hack A Day not long after that? This impressive modified Wall-E that has a built-in camera, voice recognition, and object tracking. And what does it use to control the whole show? That's right, an EZ-B. This would be where we assume complete and total credit for this awesome 'bot, and talk about how it wouldn't have been possible without us making the EZ-B module available, but... Turns out this project was done by DJ Sures. You know, the guy who invented EZ-B in the first place. I don't think there's any way we can even steal a bit of credit for that one. All jokes aside, this is a really great example of what's possible with the system. It can be about as powerful and flexible as your need it to be, and at the same time it has a pretty intuitive interface. Check out the video linked to from the Hack-a-Day article for a run-down of the build:
Once again folks, that about wraps things up for another week. Here's hoping that you can drive your own happy train of goodness through your weekend, using your cow catcher to fling aside those pesky responsibilities to the side to pursue something fun.
...yeah, that analogy sucked. Enjoy it while you can - I don't think I'll be breaking it out again.

We've just got in our newly-machined RW2 hubs & tires - and they're better! Instead of the old 1/8" axle hole that didn't quite fit the GM11a-14a series correctly (they were too loose), these new ones fit perfectly with their 3mm hole!
