We were pleased to see the Kickstarter for Ringo, the Photopopper-ish but much smarter version of our own ~17 year old design robot kit. The video showcases some pretty cool behaviors, and is easily one of those projects where we think "Jee, why didn't we do that?"
Holiday Hours
Dave Hrynkiw
December 18, 2008
Well it looks like that time of year when snow's in the air and we are out of the office for those precious holiday-tastic days. Over the next two weeks(ish) Solarbotics/HVWTech will be closed on the following dates:
- December 24th (Wednesday)
- December 25th (Thursday)
- December 26th (Friday)
- January 1st (Thursday)
- January 2nd (Friday)
During this time feel free to place any orders - any received over the 24th-26th will be filled and shipped out when we are back on the 29th-31st. Orders from the 1st and 2nd we be processed the following week, as your regularly scheduled Solarbotics & HVW Technologies programming will resume in full on Monday, January the 5th.
The phones won't be answered over the break, but if you really want to call and have a charming conversation with our answering machine you can go right ahead. We will be responding to any messages or emails as soon as we can. On the days we are open we will be operating on our usual business hours of 9AM to 5:30PM MST.
In the mean time, you don't have much time left if you want to get in that one last order and receive it by the 25th. Most customers will be able to have their last-minute orders delivered on time by courier air. For a full list of dates and cutoffs you can go right here.
If you're trying to find something for the picky or hard to shop for geek, we've just come out with gift certificates for solarbotics.com. At either $25, $50 or $100 you should be able to find that sweet spot for the person in mind. And it gets delivered with some instant email goodness - no need to worry about shipping deadlines!
From the whole team at Solarbotics/HVW Technologies, we hope you have great holidays.
