I've got a note on my desk that says "Annouce that some Canadian Prices have changed". Uh...ok. I do what I'm told. Apparently, this has something to do with our Canadian dollar climbing like a rabid beaver.
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!

Hakko FA-400 Smoke Absorber
It's cool. Well, not quite. But it's smoking. Umm, that's not right, either. It's anti-smoking. Whoever redesigned their 493 smoke absorber did a pretty good job - it's much better than it was before! And Hakko even posted a cool video showing how good it is (sorry, can't embed the video here).
