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 […]
Solarbotics Sumo Workshops
Dave Hrynkiw
September 30, 2003
We're involved with a couple of upcoming workshops featuring our Sumovore Mini-Sumo! (No local link yet, until it's officially on sale - sorry!)
The first one is at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) Open House in Edmonton, Alberta. Besides a mini-sumo, full-size sumo, fire-fighting, and line-follower, they're also running two workshops, one on October 11, and again right before the open house on October 17, to be followed by a competition on the 18th. Check out the website details for registration information.
Solarbotics is also going to be workshop-happy with another Sumovore workshop at the Seattle Robothon. If you're interested, look for workshop and registration details here.
The last one is being hosted by our distributor, Bug'n'Bots, out in Toronto October 11 and 18th. Check out full details here.

BEP Application: Bare Bones PhotoVore
We like to have some play time at Solarbotics, and the "Bare Bones Photovore" is the results of one of these play sessions. It's a very simple (amongst the simplest, we'll hazard to say) light-seeking solar-powered robot, and find it easy to build using the Bicore Experimenter's PCB.
Cool Link Wednesday: Yana Edition
About a million years ago (and by that, we mean 3-4) we had a crazy French intern called Jerome. He had a squiggly beard and liked to exclaim "SUPER COOL!" whenever he saw anything that caught his attention. But because he came up with neat stuff like the BeetleBot, we let him stick around. Even […]
