...and it was fun! Solarbotics was busy, showing off our new kits and gear motors, and shaking hands with a large number of our customers. Yeah, there weren't any "official" BEAM events, but we still had a good time running our Solarbotics-sponsored SolarSpeeder race, with the winner being 8(?) year old Devon Bateman (taking home […]
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!

Well, this year we are doing it again. We're building […]
