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 […]
Misc Tidbits, Closed for Good Friday
Dave Hrynkiw
March 27, 2010
Well, that magical time of year where rabbits poop magical chocolate eggs is almost upon us. And, as usual, Solarbotics will be closed for Good Friday, on April the 2nd. This'd be where we talk about how you can still send emails and submit orders, and that we'll answer any correspondence/messages and resume processing/shipping orders the next business day (Monday the 5th).
A few quick tidbits before we sign off for the weekend:
- The ARDY promotion ends this Wednesday (the 31st). If you want to score a free Ardweeny with your ARDX kit, the time to do it is now.
- We've just done an adjustment to our currency exchange rates, so now a lot of our inventory costs 5% less for our Canadian customers. The ARDY, for example, went down from $93.45 to $89.20 CAD. You save a few loonies and get a free Ardweeny. What's not to love?
- Dave has been going nuts uploading all sorts stuff (mainly vintage BEAM pics) to our Flickr feed, so be sure to check it out. There's even a pic in there of our new, upcoming kit.
- Lastly, we've signed a lease and will be moving into a new office space in the next month. You may not be as excited about this, but to us it's a pretty big deal. The move will most likely disturb operations for a few days, but we'll try to minimize its effects as much as possible. We'll post any relevant information as the time draws near.
That pretty much wraps things up... Have a great weekend, everyone!

Austin Maker Faire 2008
It's that wonderful time of year when you can see your breath in the air while you wait at the bus stop. Frost decorates the blades of grass, motorists spend five minutes scraping ice off the windshield before departing and there are hints of snow when you look up at the hills. So what's a […]
20 Years of BEAM Technology
A little while ago we received an email from an observant Mr. Pavel Ryabinkov, the site-admin of www.myROBOT.ru, who was asking us to relay a question to Mark Tilden: Could you answer, can it be considered the official date of birth BEAM-robotics November 10, 1989?I was basing this question on the message Brian O. Bush: […]
