Ohhh, we like 3D printers. We're working with the local Protospace to fund-raise for a Makerbot. I want to see one of these Line Follower chassis (especially as some of the parts look particularly familiar!). LOVE open source hardware!
Weekend tidbits
Dave Hrynkiw
February 20, 2009
Greetings my fellow humans! And salutations to my not-so-fellow alien amigo! There are a few small tidbits of news this weekend:
First, we received our shipment of new Herbie PCBs! Hurray! This means that you can now get Herbie the Mousebot in all four colours - red, black, blue or white. They're all in stock, so get as many mice of many colours as your heart desires. Or as many as your cat will let you get away with.
Next up, we now have white-ish, grey-ish servo wheels. You've probably seen them in the item's image for the past while, but now they can be ordered at any time. And just think - this means we almost have the same colours for mice as we do servo wheels. But who ever heard of a yellow mouse? Red or blue rodents are one thing, but yellow? That's just crazy.
Our last and not-so-exciting news piece for this evening is that the latter half of our category organizing is taking effect. You'll now find that our motor drivers and Sumovore/ScoutWalker brainboards and addons are in the Microcontrollers and Brainboards and Addons categories respectively. If you have any questions or can't quite find what you're looking for, feel free to give us a shout.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Golem at Calgary Comic Expo
Solarbotics has worked on a good many interesting costuming projects, but few have been as unique as Shannon Chappell's Rock Golem. Shannon did a fabulous job repurposing electronics for the Golem, and if you're trying to do the same, be ready for some major dumpster-diving. Alternately, since we first worked on the Golem, we've been […]
New: The Ardweeny BackPack!
We've been playing with the Pick and Place machine, and thought about new projects. This one, besides just being plain handy, offered us a simple project to start adding surface-mount parts to! The Ardweeny is proving to be a popular way to make a breadboard-friendly Arduino-clone, but after the prototyping is done, you still have […]
