Make Magazine! Servo Magazine!

Woot! (Ok, I know it's spelt W007)
The Sumovore is featured in volume 4 of Make Magazine in their suggested shopping list! For those of you who don't know about this killer quarterly publication from the fine folks at O'Reilly & Associates, you have to check it out. Makezine is ideal for all you DIY people out there. (Don't know what DIY means? Do It Yourself!)
Also this month in the mail is the Matrix comparison of the Sumovore, the Mark III and the Parallax Minisumo in this month's Servo Magazine. We hate to brag (wrong - we do!), but the Sumovore practically walks away with the comparison! Again, for those of you unfamiliar with Servo Magazine, it's brought to you by the same fine folk who publish "Nuts and Volts". With a pedigree like that, you know it's a well-presented magazine.
