Electronic things come in all shapes and sizes, with all sorts of different appendages. This week we have a few itty-bitty components that have legs/leads. They're like bugs, except made of metal.

Solarbotics workshop at the Robothon
Dave Hrynkiw
August 26, 2004
Solarbotics will be back at the Seattle Robothon September 24 and 25, hosting a workshop building our Sumovore mini-sumo robot kit, and a beta kit - the Herbie Photovore!
We had a lot of fun doing it last year, and many builders went on to compete the next day in the competition. And for the robot-builder amateur, we're introducing a beta kit of our upcoming "Herbie" photovore kit, which is a simple, speedy, battery-powered light-seeking robot guaranteed to please!
We're planning on only 20 seats, so pre-register sooner than later, and we'll contact you with full details! Even if you don't want to attend the workshop, come out to the Robothon - it's free, and a great event.

Hmmm... what's that big truck bringing? ...
Well, what a pleasant surprise - a large truck dropped by today and delivered our shipment of GM10 gear motors! They're $12.00/ea or $9.50/ea USD in pairs ($15.50/ea or $12.75/ea in pairs for Canadians) - much less expensive than converting nanoservos!
