It's snowing here. Here's the proof - a ruler measured with another ruler, reading about 7" depth of (what used to be) snow. It's a massive invasion of snowflakes, and they don't seem too friendly. The amount of snowfall we are experiencing now can prevent anyone in their right mind from being outside. And the […]

Solarbotics / HVWTech will be on "maintenance mode" while the bulk of the staff go down to the MAKE Faire in San Mateo, California.
The remaining staff have begged for some relief to make the week go easier, so we are not going to be doing any UPS shipments until Monday, May 21. And don't call the office and ask "What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" That'll just break them, and we need our staff intact, ok? Ok.
See you at MAKE!

Got a new kit for you - the K SMD L293D Motor Driver. No, no, the SMD isn't "surface mount" - it's the Secret Motor Driver! This L293D-based motor driver fits secretly inside most standard servo cases like the Futaba S3003/S148, and our own GM4 gear motors. It replaces the low-voltage original electronics with LED-indicated, […]
Another New Gearmotor - The GM19!
Here's a funky motor for you - the GM19! Slightly larger than the other metal gearhead series (GM11-14), and with a larger motor, this 35:1 beasty looks like a good contender for building mini-sumos or other small, speed-hungry robots! But be warned: It is a bit strange. The gearhead is mounted askew to the motor, […]
