New addition to SB Krew, secret fun stuf...

Well, last week I told you that I'd have (and I quote) "something more exciting and substantial for you." So I'd like to take this opportunity (on behalf of the other fine folks at Solarbotics) to welcome the newest addition to the team, Tom! He'll be heading up purchasing and finding neat new toys to bring you.

This'd be the part where we enlighten you as to the awesome things he's found that we'll be making available soon. But instead I've been advised by powers-that-be that this information is classified and secret. But that's okay - you can definitely tell it's going to be fantastically wondrous by the ultra-exciting words 'classified' and 'secret' (not to mention the fact that they're even italicized).  But you want something a tad bit more... Tangible, eh? Well, here you go. It's an itty-bitty cropped image with no context or specific information, and we dare you to unravel our plans for wold domination from this one bit of bendy metal.

Magical Mystery Thing
Gotta say, though, it sure is an impressive bit of bendy metal...
