So as we mentioned last week, our contest to name our upcoming GVS Ardweeny Backpack had come to a close. We've had a chance to sift through all the submissions, and the results are IN. This would be the part where someone hands someone else a secret-lookin' envelope, but because I can't spot any envelopes […]
Solarbotics at Bay Area Maker Faire ...S...
Dave Hrynkiw
May 10, 2012
Guess what! Like every year, from May 19-20 Solarbotics is going to be at the Bay Area Maker Faire! Well, kinda. While we usually run a full booth to show off all our cool BEAM and Arduino stuff (we even ran a totally rockin' ARDX workshop last time), it unfortunately looks like costs have risen a bit too much for us to be involved as we wish we could be. But that's okay! DO NOT FRET, FELLOW HUMAN! As with every year, you can still find us hanging out in the Maker Shed - the official store for the show. We'll have lots of our stuff for you to look at and play with, and would love nothing more than for you to drop by and say hello. So if you're in the San Fransisco/San Mateo area next weekend, be sure to check out the Faire and meet some Solarbotians.
...we're not sure if 'Solarbotian' is a proper word, but it is now. If it's in a newspost, it's gotta be official.

This seems like a GREAT idea for extra-terrestrial planet-surface locomotion. Check out […]

Lower gear ratio motors!
We're happy to announce another variant of gearmotor. Like the GM2/GM3 but with a gear ratio of 143:1, they run approximately 175% the output speed! - these are ideal for applications like minisumos, linefollowers and other wheeled devices. Check the "New Items" listing on the left side for details, or view them directly here: GM8 […]
