We're making the trip out to Robomaxx in Grants Pass, Oregon October 11-12. Gonna be there? Hunt down the dude in the cowboy hat wearing the "Solarbotics" Shirt. That'll be me. Maybe I'll have samples of our gearmotors burning a hole in my pocket. If it isn't me, tell him to give back my hat […]

Well, it's been a few weeks since the last update. We have a few big projects on the burner - we're not quite ready to make any announcements yet, but keep your eyes open in the next few months.
But don't fret - there are some things we can share with you this week. For instance, we've just brought in two new books from Make:
- Make: Electronics - Learn basic components and principles through "learn by discovery" experiments
- Maker's Notebook - 150 pages of engineering graph paper, helpful information/charts, and stickers
But wait, there's more!
Rudy, one of our most excellent interns, has made an Intructables for upgrading an Ardweeny with socket headers and stronger pins. Check it out here!

Circuit: Lightstorm
Some of you may have found the LightStorm Pummers that Mark Tilden has made using some neat looking plastics. We've built our own variation of the circuit, which is a dark-activated, quad-bicore pseudo-random chaos generated, dual pummer circuit.
