"Project Monday"? What the heck is that?
We're giving our news postin' habits a bit of an overhaul. Here's the plan: instead of one massive newspost once a week, we're going to break things up a bit. Monday's we'll post a cool project or tutorial that might be fun to try. Wednesdays, we'll post some of the awesome links that we've bit passing around the office. And finally, as to preserve some sense of sanity, we'll keep posting our latest product releases every Friday. And if you want to contribute... Let us know! We're especially interested in showing off whatever neat projects we can, so feel free to write us with some images or links or description-type-stuff so that we can show off your projects to the world.
So let's take this 'Project Monday' thing for a spin, shall we?
Those crafty people at Make just posted this really cool BEAM project for basic solar rollers and solar symets:
We love to see BEAM projects getting some lovin' from time to time - that's where we have our proud roots. There's something really elegant about such simple designs that don't require any fancy brains and are quite content to putter around in the sunlight. We carry most of the parts needed for this project, from the solar cell to the cassette mechanism and flashing LED. Make Magazine actually ran similar projects waaaay back in Volume 6. The circuits are a little bit different than this project, but we also have kits available that will set you up with what you need to make your own solar roller and trimet.
Happy Monday, everyone! Er, if such a thing exists...

Just another quick note that Solarbotics will be closed for Victoria Day, Monday May 23. Any orders received after 2pm today will not go out until we open back up on Tuesday the 24th.
Purolator is one of our more popular couriers, and they've recently rolled out an update that we thought wasn't going to affect our website. Guess what? Why yes; yes it has. And on a Friday afternoon, we are unable to get anybody on their end to help us pin down the error location. That's not […]
We're pretty proud of our book, "Junkbots, Bugbots, and Bots on Wheels", especially with reviews like this!
