One of the most popular BEAM Walkers ever built was Mark Tilden's VBug 1.1 - Spyder. We've recently had the opportunity to shoot a series of high-resolution detail pictures of this robot, which we're now making available to you!
The Solarbotics Comic Expos Best Project...
Solar botics
March 17, 2017
Solarbotics has been a regular at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo for quite a few years now. Throughout the years we've shown off multiple projects that we created ourselves and in collaboration with some brilliant costume and prop designers. Here is a recap of the most impressive projects.
We are always happy to assist people doing something outstandingly elaborate, especially with the use of our parts. That is how we found out about the Iron Man by Phillip Vatour, which was featured at the Comic Expo 2016. It instantly became a center point for photo ops and tech related conversations.
Rainbow Brite was an ambitious and intensely prismatic cosplay build done by Lyn Janelle and Dan Damron of Solarbotics that probably can compare in brightness only to Angela Dale's Chameleon Cocktail Dress.
By far the largest project in scale was Shannon Chappell's Golem. Towering up more than 3.5 meters (12'), equipped with articulated weapons and glowing with repurposed LEDs it was an unbeatable showstopper. See more specs and details about it here.
Stay tuned for more info and insights from previous and upcoming Expos!
Weekend passes often sell out, so grab your TICKETS now, while you still can!

PIMP YO' SUMO!
The biggest complaint we've ever had is that the Sumovore is boring. I mean, yeah, it can beat the tar out of most other sumos in the ring without batting an eye. But it's just so boring to watch. It'd be funner to watch the paint dry on a pot of boiling water. So, after […]
New Gearmotor - the GM17
Hellooooo! I love getting new gearmotors to test. I get to break them apart, poke them, submit them to torture test - it's all great fun. My latest victim of inspection is our new GM17 HE Offset gearmotor. It uses a very power efficient 300-form factor motor to drive the 228:1 gearbox. It isn't a […]
