We've got a new BEP application ready for you users of the Bicore Experimenters' PCB: The two motor Servocore Walker! Use two unmodified servos to set endstop and duration characteristics, slave them like regular bicores, add an IMx reverser, and you're trotting along!
New Product!

We've been shopping again, but the accountant won't let us hoard all the goodies for ourselves. SOOO, we're announcing the following goodies!
- RBFB: The Book "Robot Building for Beginners" by David Cook, which is an excellent reference for a newcomer to robotics. It's an ideal companion for our own book "Junkbots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels".
- SWT8: A new tiny micro SPST switch that is simply too tiny and cool not to take a look at!
- SWT9:A new small lever action SPDT switch with solderable lever. We're doing many experiments using these as robot tactile sensors.
- CdS: There's been renewed interest in photo-resistors (or photocells, or Cadmium-Sulphide cells), and we've finally found a source of good quality units. Unlike many surplus CdS sensors we've tested in the past, these are in reasonably good tolerance.
- 0.01µF Capacitors: It's easier to do high-frequency Bicore experiments with a small capacitor!
Well, back to work - must find more things to hide from the accountant!
