The Turbot is a member of the Scophthalmidae family of flatfish and is almost completely circular. Turbot is often found partially buried in the seabed in sand, gravel, rocks and sediment. Its fat content varies, but it usually contains roughly 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acids per 100g fillet. Barring advances in genetic engineering, we will not be building that kind of Turbot. However, this kind of Turbot can be built with a soldering iron.
PICAXE Experimenter's Kit on sale!

Well, we're disappointed. Not a single one of you fell for our Pimp Your Sumo April Fool's joke. Which is too bad, really, because we were actually ready to send them out to anyone that wanted one. Oh well, too late now!
But don't fret if you missed out - we have a special treat for you! The PCAXE Experimenter's Kit (both serial and USB versions) are on sale. Hurray! If you get it now you'll receive 5% off the standard retail price. But you better nab 'em quick - they're about to be discontinued. Once they're gone, they won't be coming back! And trust us, this one ain't no joke.
So that's all from the gang at Solarbotics for the week - we hope everyone's enjoying the start of April! (Even if it's still below freezing at night, the sky is grey, and there's snow in the forecast. Isn't spring great?)
