Herbie the Mousebot, that lovable robotic rodent of ours, is a pretty popular critter. Seeks light, avoids obstacles, chases other Herbies (when modified), and is generally a swell robo mus musculus. He doesn't whistle and can't quite drive a steamboat like certain other mice, but he's gets by alright. What most people probably don't know about one of our most popular kits is that a fraction of every Herbie sale goes towards a non-profit organization called KISS Institute for Practical Robotics. And while there are many witty jokes to be made about the acronym, Keep It Simple, Stupid is a philosophy that we hold very close to our hearts in the world of developing robots and electronic projects. But I digress.
Waaay back in 1993, David Miller and Cathryne Stein formed KISS as a way to expose young students all over the world to robotics, in an effort to encourage them to persue further education in computer science and engineering. A key component to this is the Botball, which "is an educational STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) outreach program in which teams of middle and high school aged students design, build, program, and document a pair of original autonomous robots to play in an open-solution tournament. All work is done by the students, and the equipment stays with the school to be reused for years in classroom or extracurricular activities."
Solarbotics is proud to contribute to this organization, and we encourage any of you interested to visit the site (posted above) for a lot more detail on how you can get involved in Botball's many activities and tournaments. There's so much more great information and media than we can pack into a humble newspost.
Now that we've had a KISS, how about some HUGS? Checkout this week's Handsome & Uniquely Glorious Stuff:
And that's it. If you were wondering what comes after KISS and HUGS, it's a NAFA followed by TSWOSTWHBREFE. You know, Not Another Fancy Acronym before The Second Weekend Of September That Will Hopefully Be Rather Enjoyable For Everyone.

DJ Sures has been a customer of ours for a good while now, and he recently came in with this really cool product - the EZ-B. He's a professional programmer that's been hacking toys into robots, and wanted an more streamlined way to realize his dream of simple-to-implement robotics. He started with his own versions […]
Here we go, it’s the W day again. Seems like the previous one was two infinities ago. During that infinite time we had plenty of opportunities to pick the interesting stuff floating around internets, and bring it to you: Headphone Light Show EL (electroluminescent) wire is a cool thing. Add it to the headphones and […]
