Grant and I are back from Portland. Nice damp city, that one...reminds me of where I grew up in B.C. We had a great time under the hospices of Monty Goodson and the rest of the PDXBot crew. We had a good time seeing cool new custom robots by Josh Triska (1st place Advanced Mini-Sumo […]
Happy Yew Nears!

This is just a subtle reminder that Solarbotics & HVW Technologies will both be closed January 1st and 2nd (Thursday and Friday), while we're out fighting raging hangovers being productive members of society. We hope 2008 treated all of you well and that 2009 will be even better. And if it isn't, well... Once we get our solar-powered time machine working we'll take you for a spin to sort things out.
But don't hold your breath - there's still quite a bit of work left on that one. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a SolarSpeeder to reach 88MPH? If you happen to stumble across a capacitor to support 1.21GW and a solar cell to charge it, we'd love to know.)
Business will resume as usual on Monday, January 5th. In the mean time, all the best to you and yours from the team at Solarbotics/HVW Technologies!
