Besides introducing a whole new batch of Push-Pogopins (and their measurements) into the 'misc' category, we've just introduced our 'D2' Germanium Diode. This diode is pretty good - better than the 1N270 and 1N34 types, with a voltage dropout of only 0.36V at 50mA! We're not exactly sure what type it is, but since we […]
ScoutWalker III Prototype Kit Workshop
Dave Hrynkiw
September 27, 2004
Steve Jones over at Bug'n'Bots has been working with us to be our official test-base for our new upcoming BEAM Walker Kit - the ScoutWalker III.
In preparation for the 2004 Eastern Canadian Robot Games, Bug'n'bots is hosting a special workshop featuring this new beta-version kit. This new robot kit uses a very comprehensive BEAM circuit design that allows gentle and hard turn ability, phototropism, and tactile sensor responses. Oh, did we mention that it also can be used with all the Sumovore add-on brainboards? Perfect for your "Horse and Rider" experiments!
After we receive feedback on the workshop, we'll be working on having the ScoutWalker III on the market in time for Christmas, so stay tuned!
