We gave Grant a bit of the afternoon to put together a demo robot using the GM10. What project? Ah, the venerable Herbie, of course! Construction details (and a big pic) are on the motor detail link. Oh, and there's a video too! Read More...
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!

Sherline Closing Sale
Because we use their great products while making robots, we've also carried Sherline products almost since we started Solarbotics. But the time has come to start cutting things that aren't core to our business, and the Sherline machine tools definitely take valuable time from open-source hardware hacking, lasering, and pick'n'placing. For 1 week only, we're […]
