Here's something to take a boo at a workshop by Tom Mair and a Grade-5 class. From his message to the BEAM mailing list: Last year I helped Mrs. Corbett's Grade 5 class build robots and we had a blast (see a review here http://www.aasland.com/hcrd.html).

New Product: Limerick Edition

August 18, 2012
I've been wanting to post in limerick, and today I think I'll give it a kick. My co-workers think it's dumb, but I think it's kinda fun. And I'm sure it'll turn out quite slick.
In order to avoid some tough restrictions, I won't use limerick for product descriptions. It'd also make some people sick, and want to beat me with a stick. So I'll switch to normal verse to avoid any conniptions.
This week we have a fancy new video clip, that's a demo for a nifty new LED strip. It's wrapped around in a spool, and looks pretty darn cool. There's also links down below you shouldn't skip.

5V RGB LED Stripxels (1m) $35.00 Don't want to bother with trying to control 12V RGB strips with MOSFETs, well here you go: Solarbotics now carries 5V RGB LED Stripxels which has 32 RGB LEDs per meter that can be individually controlled and only requires a 5V source and TTL Clock & Data signals. How's that for ease of use? |

5V Bullet-type RGB LED Stringxels (Strand of 40) $64.00 Want individually-controlled, color changing LED pixels that can be securely mounted in your application and have enough waterproofing to survive outdoors? The 40 strand RGB LED Stringxels are here to save the day! |

Switching Power Supply 5V @ 20A $20.00 When we talk about some of our power supplies & adapters being beefy or buff, sorry, we lied! This Switching Power supply is the Granddaddy of them all, it supplies 5V at 20Amps. |
This is all we got for this Friday afternoon, and we'll be off for the weekend quite soon. We hope you've quite enjoyed this (questionable) poetic employ, and that you don't get crushed by a meteorological balloon.
