Hey - don't blame us! We're just the messenger. Actually, Sherline has kept prices constant for the last 3 or 4 years, and were overdue for the increase.

New Product!
Dave Hrynkiw
November 12, 2002
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!

Closed Friday, April 21st.
Fun fact: The Friday before Easter used to be just like any other day of the week. But then they ('they' who? THE GREAT THEY, THAT'S WHO) decided that no, this Friday should be set apart from all the other Fridays of the year. So they tried attaching different names. First was Bad Friday, which […]
