Solar botics
February 28, 2014
Other than the new goodies, we have one more thing to announce: Solarbotics, as an official MakeFashion partner, has been supporting local and international designers by consulting, providing materials, tech support and snacks.

So tomorrow, March 1 we are going to be at MakeFashion Gala to reap the fruits of our labour and hopefully see some neat wearable stuff.

Solarbotics WCRG mini-sumo workshop
The night before WCRG, and all through the office, not a creature was stirring...except two dozen mini-sumo robots - AAAHH! Thanks to Alberta Printed Circuits, we were able to sponsor a mini-sumo workshop to build 24 robots to compete in the next day's Western Canadian Robot Games.
