Moving ActiveTech
Solar botics
April 23, 2018
As some of you know, ActiveTech is changing locations and merging operations with Solarbotics. The retail store is going to take the space where the former RnD lab was, and we've been working hard to prepare that area for the move-in.

Start bringing in product shelves. It is going to be Asian-store-style, top-to-bottom-crammed-with-product tight!
More pegboard shelving:
The mezzanine behind the lab has also been rearranged from random storage space - to product storage space.
Stay tuned for more updates on the move - we should be fully relocated by May 1st, and check out the moving sale that is currently going on at ActiveTech.

Book special continues...
Well, the first 100 copies of "Junkbots" have officially been sold. But since I can't get enough of signing the inside cover of every book in the office, we're going to have to extend the offer until the ink in my pen runs out. So the Junkbots book/motor deal will last for until at least […]
