Alriiiiight. It's Friday, and you know what that means... We get to sleep in tomorrow morning! WOOOOO! Also, it means that it's time for the weekly news post of new product goodness. Today we've got four items to show off:
Designed particularly for the Freeduino SB (it works with other USB Arduino Boards too!), the SB-Protoboard will make your life a lot easier for those of you who want to do some fun custom stuff.
But wait, I said there were four items, did I? It's been a long time coming, but we're pleased to announce that GM10s are back in stock! They're a little bit different than before - the arm/head isn't quite the same and the shell is no longer transparent. Aside from that, it's the same quirky motor we all know and love.
Stay tuned, in the next few weeks we'll be adding lots of new products to the Interface Modules category, as well as starting a new mystery section. What could it be?! Oh, the anticipations...

Circuit: L293D Mini-Sumo
This circuit is used to create a simple "edgebot" sumo robot. Being an edgebot refers that it will repeat the same backup/turn/go forward action when it's single edge sensor detects the edge of the ring. This version of the circuit is quite simple, and always turns the same way.
