Wow! They're finally here! These are the original gear motors we used sooo many years ago to convert and power the Miniball kits (yes, they're under review for bringing back - don't rush us!). We're the only place to find the whole assortment of four gear ratios - 75.7, 134.5, 196.6, and 297.1:1 reduction, and […]
Resistance is Futile if < 1ohm

July 31, 2009
Hey, look at us! We made a witty, over-used joke! But seriously, this week we have a schwack-load of resistors for you. Normally we save most of these for our internal use, but what's so fun about that? So we've gone ahead and opened up our entire inventory of 5% accuracy, 1/4 watt resistors. There are a lot of them. And they can now be yours, so that you too can make lame Borg jokes. Check out the full list of new resistors below. For a complete selection, be sure to check out the Resistors Category.
And one last tidbit! We've put together a Graphics & Logos section, for all sorts of Solarbotics media. There are a few small/simple website banners, as well as some larger, high res and vector logos for those of you who'd like to make something specific. You can access this page by hitting the big Resources button at the top, and then the Solarbotics Graphics & Logos link on the lower-left. So, loyal minions, venture forth and plaster our logo in all manner of extremely awesome places!
