This mini-sumo design by Jeremy Bloyd-Peshkin features our wheels, and one of our favourite building materials, Sintra. We can't laser-cut sintra (PVC=bad stuff when burned), but milling it works well, as this builder shows. The asymmetric motor layout works, as proven by this contest-winning design (scroll to the bottom of the page).
Guaranteed Results Workshop at WCRG
Dave Hrynkiw
April 26, 2002
Solarbotics is again hosting a Guaranteed Results workshop at the Western Canadian Robot Games, on Friday May 10th, noon to 4pm.
It works like this: Pick up any kits from Solarbotics before (or of the day) the workshop, bring it in, and we'll have tools and expertise there to make sure your kit goes together as designed. (Note: Walking Robot Kits excluded - these take longer than the workshop duration)
So come by the booth, check out the specials on the kits, and scoot yourself over to the Solarbotics Workshop!
