Solarbotics SolarSpeeder competition

The Western Canadian Robot Games are close at hand (umm... this weekend!), and in response to popular request, we're cranking up the SolarSpeeder contest again!

Ever built a Solarbotics SolarSpeeder? Bring it down to the games, enter at our booth (free!), and we'll run a SolarSpeeder target race. Aim your racer at a 10cm (4") wide gap at the far end of an 8' x 4' platform, and the closest one wins a prize. Get it through the gap and win BIG!

Oh, an you may even go up against our new SolarSpeeder 1.2 prototype!
