Well, the last batch of Escap gearmotors went very fast. Let's hope this batch lasts a bit longer! Unlike the last set, this set has a higher reduction ratio of 663:1 instead of 362:1. This means it starts turning 0.46V (!) drawing only 3.3mA (!!) It's a 3V rated motor, but our tests show that […]
GM15 Dual-Deal; Microcontrollers!
Dave Hrynkiw
June 8, 2004
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...

More of a Bug Hunt than a stand up fight...
So as some of you have noticed our new site went up yesterday, but unfortunately not without some issues. Today is a day of bug hunting, (which makes the Weyland-Yutani shirt I'm wearing even more appropriate) and thanks to the efforts of those of you who have taken the time to email me I've been […]
