Grant has taken some time to document how to turn a standard 81:1 GM10 pager gear motor and turn it into a 9:1 version. Why would you want to do that? You tell me - I'd love to know what project you build with a speed demon like that! Read More...
...oh, and they also should want to work with us.
We have a few positions open we want to fill with people that have a good sense of humour, have some geek qualities, and can tell the difference between a diode and resistor (or sincerely want to learn!)
Here are the types of
people we're looking for:
ubergeek specializing in microcontrollers &
other clever electronics. Atmels, PICs, and Stamps, oh my! Oh, and
discrete electronics experience is always a plus. Want to impress us?
Show off some 'bots & projects. Did I mention the fully-furnished
R&D lab you get to share? Even has Sherline Lathes and Mills to
better make projects with!
Purchaser/Coordinator/Ass't Manager. There's lots
going on here, so we're looking for a person that is comfortable with
tracking inventory, placing POs, and making sure they arrive and get
processed appropriately. In addition, this person will be the
administrative "Left Hand" (the "right-hand" position is already
taken!).
So if you have a sense of humour (an absolute
necessity - we like to working with people who like coming to work),
don't mind a dog and an occasional after-school child, and want to join
us up here in the Great White North (where it's truly beautiful), drop us a line
with your resume, your contact information, and if applicable, a
link to your website. (Solarbotics/HVW Technologies is a non-smoking workplace)

Wednesday links are back, with more wednesdayness and linkness. Or linkedness. In any case, after the holidays we got better. More rested, more well-fed, more exercised, more healthy, more balanced, more busy, more relaxed, more organized, more happy... Er, I think these were New Year resolutions... All I mean is that we are finally back […]
Inspired by the Ice Bulb published on Instructables, we decided to create our own version. Ice bulb suggests that we use a balloon to shape the ice and before it freezes, add an LED so that it can glow. Since we decided to use a whole bunch of LEDs (on a string), we opted to […]
Wow! They're finally here! These are the original gear motors we used sooo many years ago to convert and power the Miniball kits (yes, they're under review for bringing back - don't rush us!). We're the only place to find the whole assortment of four gear ratios - 75.7, 134.5, 196.6, and 297.1:1 reduction, and […]
