David Cook wrote a book. That book is a technically a Cook book, but we won't call it that. We'll call it Intermediate Robot Building (no, we don't have it yet, we're still waiting for our order!), and it heavily features the Roundabout Robot. If you're familiar with Mr. Cook's first book Robot Building for […]
New stuff!
Dave Hrynkiw
December 5, 2009
Well folks, the BEAM Anniversary sale has officially come and gone. So many of you jumped on those awesome deals that we extended them an extra four days before taking them down. Anyways, we have tons of great stuff to get through, so let's plow through starting with the new stock we've brought in over the past two weeks:
And then we've gone ahead and broken down parts of the popular ARDX kit, so that you can get some of the items separately:
- ARDX Plastic Tool Case
- Half-Size Breadboard
- HXT900 Micro Servo
- 5 x AA Holder With 2.1mm Barrel Jack
- Oomlout ARDX Kit (No Arduino) - Already have an Arduino and cable? This kit will save you a few bucks off of the ARDX and set you up with all the other components.
In other news, we're stretching our tentacles out further into the world of the interwebs. The past few weeks we've set up both a Flickr and Facebook account. We're particularly interested about the former - Dave started off by adding some old BEAM pics we dusted off from the neglected corners of the server, 
and we're hoping to expand on that plus other content in the next little while. Stay tuned!
Lastly we want to welcome Roboteknia aboard as our newest distributor. Make sure to check them out if you're looking at getting some neat robotics tech in Mexico!

Evil Mad Scientist Inventory... Welcome ...
Earlier in January we had a very interesting discussion with the chief geeks at Evil Mad Scientist Labs. They've been doing similarly-unique DIY as Solarbotics for a good long time, but they had now found themselves in the position of shuttering their operation to take some lead rolls with Bantam Tools. This meant moving from […]
Pogo Pins are back!
After a long hiatus, our PP3 chisel-tip pogo pins are back! And it looks like they're here to stay, so no more drop-outs in supply. I know that we use them for robotics applications, but there's a lot of people using them for other electronics purposes. Now you can get them reliably, and in quantity, […]
New Yellow Treads
Want a bumble-bee look to your robot tank? Intersperse our new GMT-Yellow treads into the link chain! You should even be able to use a yellow link as a opto-reflector in a wheel (err...tread?) encoder circuit. ALSO, we're the only place in North America you can get these new yellow tread links!
Solarbotics has been operating for more than 25 years, bringing electronics know-how and supplies to both the electronics professional and hobbyist. We'll be happy to help you too!
