Solarbotics SolarSpeeder competition
Dave Hrynkiw
May 10, 2006
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!

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

But the name seems rather vague and underwhelming. And thus I began my quest to find the true meaning of Heritage Day. So as any […]
