...And by "digs" I mean website! Thanks to all of you who've dropped in for a looky-loo while the paint dries. We're still (metaphorically) moving the furniture in, but everything is ready to roll. Stay tuned while we finish tweaking and installing new content! Thanks, Dave

We are closed tomorrow April 3 for Good Friday, so we are bringing you the new product reveal early:
Today we are happy to announce the addition to the EggBot family - the fully assembled Egg-Bot PRO! We have a few other odds and ends worth checking out, so have a look. There is Pololu Gyro, a couple of e-textile batteries and a handy Raspberry Pi SAFE that we designed to fit the Pi V2 and B+ models.

Interesting Mini-sumo build
This mini-sumo design by Jeremy Bloyd-Peshkin features our wheels, and one of our favourite building materials, Sintra. We can't laser-cut sintra (PVC=bad stuff when burned), but milling it works well, as this builder shows. The asymmetric motor layout works, as proven by this contest-winning design (scroll to the bottom of the page).
