Friday New Product: Cables, Imps, and Ar...
Solar botics
December 28, 2012
Although according to some sources Canadians in general (and Solarbotics in particular) have long since gone into hibernation, some autonomous robots (or Russians) are still purchasing new product and producing content, through some coincidence of stray electric impulses. Among the wandering flickering lights of deserted offices, with Canadians gently tucked away in the corners and wrapped in cozy blankets under their desks until the next year, only roombas gently buzz away on their cleaning duties while lonely Russians on duty poke random keys on the keyboard to bring you the last new product of 2012.
But before that, just a quick reminder that Solarbotics will be closed on January 1st. Even Russians need to get in their yearly dose of sleep.

StrongBad victorious again!
