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!

BEAM as part of thesis work
Rory Nugent (of Solar Xylophone fame) has posted his thesis presentation to the Interactive Telecommunications Program, which heavily features BEAM devices. By "building things with a sense of life", he's documenting what we've known for a good while - autonomous devices ("pets") offer unusual interesting relationships. Keep up the good work!
Escaps back in stock!
Well, the last batch of Escap gearmotors went very fast. Let's hope this batch lasts a bit longer! Unlike the last set, this set has a higher reduction ratio of 663:1 instead of 362:1. This means it starts turning 0.46V (!) drawing only 3.3mA (!!) It's a 3V rated motor, but our tests show that […]
Closed for Canada Day (July 1st)
Well now. When we told you to "drop by and say hello" while we were at the Vancouver Mini-Maker Faire, we weren't expecting that big of a turnout. It seems like half the people in attendance were there just to see us. We were thrilled to meet so many of you, and although we were […]
