Actually, it's been done, but not this nicely. Those guys at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have a nice report on their "microglider" project. They do some fine work! Bah. That picture is too small! Let's look at a BIG one! Ooo! And they have more big pictures here! This one is nice - […]
New Items!

November 1, 2001
Besides introducing a whole new batch of Push-Pogopins (and their measurements) into the 'misc' category, we've just introduced our 'D2' Germanium Diode.
This diode is pretty good - better than the 1N270 and 1N34 types, with a voltage dropout of only 0.36V at 50mA! We're not exactly sure what type it is, but since we only have a limited quantity, I suggest you jump on these while we have them.
We also have just introduced the LMP1 and LMP2 Leg Mounting Pads. If you're familiar with our ScoutWalker kits, you'll already be familiar with the technique we use to mount the legs to the servos. We've been getting requests for these things separate from the kit, so we've brought in two styles: The "standard" LM1 regular mounting pads, and the "Heavy" LM2 style like we use in our walker kits.
They're sold in pairs, complete with the tiny screws needed to screw them to practically any servo arm.
More coming soon!

Closed for Canada Day (July 1st)
Well now. When we told you to "drop by and say hello" while we were at the Vancouver Mini-Maker Faire, we weren't expecting that big of a turnout. It seems like half the people in attendance were there just to see us. We were thrilled to meet so many of you, and although we were […]
