Last summer during a Solarbotics Robotics for Educators session, one of the teachers noted something about many of the mainstream robotics and electronics learning platforms commonly used in classrooms.

Solid State Relay SSR-10DD 10A/5-60VDC 3-32VDC $10.00 Traditional relays actually have physical little contacts that when powered by a little signal, bang together to pass much larger currents. They have little resistance, are generally reliable, but they are noisy and they don't last as long as solid-state components. That's where the Solid State Relay (SSR) comes into play. |

Electric Imp Development Card $29.95 It looks like and SD card.... it smells like an SD card.... but it certainly tastes much, MUCH better! Connect your project via wifi to the internet with the powerful, configurable, programmable Electric Imp. |
And if the trend continues, next time we might even have four products! Scandalous... Numbers are so tricky. I think I'll go count my fingers now (and maybe even toes if I'm really adventurous). But I'm afraid that will be too much, I might not be able to sleep tonight. Life can be overwhelming sometimes. Keep everything under control, especially your toes, and see you next week!

Weekend Tidbits
Being April in Calgary, it should come as no surprise to any of you that yesterday we had a lovely blizzard which melted and froze, coating everything in a delicious layer of ice.
