Harold Ilano built this SW2.2 / VBug inspired 5 motor walker named "Tank", and just recently announced it on the BEAM mailing list. It's a very effective and quick device - nicely done, and well worth a look-see. It still impresses me what we can do without a microcontroller...
Solarbotics Christmas Hours
Dave Hrynkiw
December 16, 2005
Ho Ho Ho! The 25th is fast approaching and we thought what better way to celebrate the season then with our families! (No, not the robotic ones, our real-living-breathing-warm- blooded ones!)
Solarbotics will officially be closed from December 23 to December 27, 2005. We will be back in the office for December 28 when we will work off the Christmas Turkey and process all orders accumulated over the holidays. On the 29th and the 30th we will be working like mad to get inventory done. Therefore only courier orders (1-2 business day delivery service) will be processed on December 29 & 30. If you have an order which is an emergency or you really would like it shipped on those days, call our toll free line (1-866-276-2687) and someone will help you. For everyone else we thank you for your patience and understanding as we count hundreds upon thousands of itty bitty electronic pieces!
Solarbotics will also be closed on January 2nd in lieu of New Year's Day but it will be business as usual for January 3rd, 2006.
Wishing you all a warm and bright Holiday Season and a New Year filled with robots!

Golem at Calgary Comic Expo
Solarbotics has worked on a good many interesting costuming projects, but few have been as unique as Shannon Chappell's Rock Golem. Shannon did a fabulous job repurposing electronics for the Golem, and if you're trying to do the same, be ready for some major dumpster-diving. Alternately, since we first worked on the Golem, we've been […]
