We're happy to announce another variant of gearmotor. Like the GM2/GM3 but with a gear ratio of 143:1, they run approximately 175% the output speed! - these are ideal for applications like minisumos, linefollowers and other wheeled devices. Check the "New Items" listing on the left side for details, or view them directly here: GM8 […]
Office Reorganization Extravanganza!
Dave Hrynkiw
July 10, 2009
Usually I'd take the opportunity of the weekly newspost to show you something that would shake the very foundations of your soul. Y'know, by showing you the latest and greatest toys or by announcing sales and/or specials. But instead, I will show you what we've been toiling away on over the past week. You know how we mentioned we were doing a bit of reorganization around the office? Well, to the side you'll see an image of a fruit of our labour. (On a side note, please forgive me, the photographer, for the horrible horrible picture. I can only shoot tiny things on white backgrounds, and even that skill can be questionable).
So here you see an isle of our massive, massive warehouse where we keep all the product for both HVW and Solarbotics. See all those wonderful grey shelves? Here's a secret - they're not so wonderful. It took many many hours of awkwardly bent arms and dropped bolts and uttered curses to complete these over-glorified holders of product. And this is just a tiny corner of our space, for several days in a row we had all sorts of meyham unravelling in every imaginable space.
Next week we'll have something more exciting and substantial for you. And if we don't... Expect another shoddy last-minute photograph as filler content. Have a great weekend everyone!

New Items!
Besides introducing a whole new batch of Push-Pogopins (and their measurements) into the 'misc' category, we've just introduced our 'D2' Germanium Diode. This diode is pretty good - better than the 1N270 and 1N34 types, with a voltage dropout of only 0.36V at 50mA! We're not exactly sure what type it is, but since we […]
Solarbotics at Calgary Entertainment Exp...
Well, we survived the battlefield of 2014 Calgary Entertainment Expo with no human, animal or machinery losses (although with an apparent vocabulary shift towards geekery). In any case, running a double booth was a lot of fun and a lot of work, which makes it satisfying and tiring at the same time. And educating: we've […]
Wednesday Cool Links: Dragon Fly, Prince...
Weeee, its Wednesday again. And that means time to stare at internet more! While in other parts of the world (or so we are told) things are growing, springing and budding, here we are, with overcast greyness and last year's stuff (grass - as a best case scenario) poking from underneath the dirty snow. So […]
