GM15 Dual-Deal; Microcontrollers!

Ok, ok - we've been getting requests (no; more like demands) that we offer a bit of a deal for getting the GM15's in pairs.

Alright then. How does $30USD or $40Cdn a pair strike you? Ok, now let's see some nano-sumo robots!

"Wot's this? A microcontroller at Solarbotics??" Yup. The Atmel ATMega8L is part of our Sumovore Atmel Brainboard, and it's simply a really solid microcontroller with an excellent (free) open-source C++ programming environment. Of course, you won't see us running a solaroller with one of these, but this microcontroller is finding uses at Solarbotics.

Embrace the power of the Dark side, Luke...

So you'll have to hang […]

New Pogo Push Probes in stock

I can't imagine why, but some people want to use these push pogo pins for other uses than robot appendages. Or battery contacts. Apparently they're really good for something called "JTAG applications" too, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. Scroll down to see them listed in the "New Items" column.
