Solarbotics came back from the 2003 Seattle Fall Robothon with a 'Best Engineered' award for our Sumovore Mini-sumo kit! We'll get a picture of it up online shortly, but in the meanwhile, take a boo at our pictures of our trip there! Read More...
Temperature Sensors, New Instructable
Dave Hrynkiw
February 5, 2010
Woo, we've had a busy week! To start things off, we have a new category - Temperature Sensors! So far it has the following items:
- Humidity/Temperature Sensor
- DS1620+ Serial Digital Thermometer
- DS18B20+ Temperature Sensor
- Devantech TPA81 8x1 Thermopile
- LilyPad Temperature Sensor
Yeah, it's a pretty bare category at the moment, but we'll be adding to it over the next few weeks.
The other piece of news we have for you is that we've just completed and posted a new Instructable! This one is for a Solar-Powered Battle Symet - yeah, it's like the other symet, except it's turned up to eleven. This guy will go absolutely nuts once it's discharged its power, spinning like crazy. Get two or more of them together and watch 'em duke it out! Hey, look, we even made a movie for it! Oh, and here's a parts bundle - it's just like the other instructable (the Wannabe Miniball).
And that wraps things up - have a good weekend everyone!

Ours is solar-powered by a Miller Solarengine, but if you wanted to build one with a battery, your parts count would […]
Telephone interruptions Scheduled
Now why would we schedule interruptions? Umm... because it gives us time to enjoy a cookie and milk without the phone ringing. Every accidentally dip your headset mic into a glass of milk? It starts to smell funky in a day or two... Anyway, it isn't really our fault - it's just some local infrastructure […]
