Well, we're all back from Maker Faire, feelin' pretty groggy but fairly alive (or, perhaps more accurately, undead - something about being in a zombie-like state sounds about right).

The Solarbotics DIY Island & Repair...
Solar botics
March 20, 2017
What's the biggest event for Solarbotics in the spring? Calgary Comic Expo on April 27-30! This year we are going to be there as part of the DIY Island (booth 110) at BMO Centre, Calgary Stampede Park. DIY Island is a booth space shared between Solarbotics, Repair Oasis, Protospace and MakerFaire Calgary.
Solarbotics will be bringing the regular selection of wonderful tech-y goodness including multiple demos, the Marble Machines, and the ever popular Uselessness:
Iron Man by Phillip Vatour is also making an appearance again this year:
Along with Protospace, Solarbotics is helping to man the Repair Oasis, the costume repair center that offers a helping screwdriver, heat gun, and a whole plethora of tools to anyone with a costume mishap. We get to see most elaborate costumes and do all kinds of crazy repairs!
Make sure to follow us on Instagram, facebook or twitter to see the best stories from the Expo. Weekend passes often sell out, so grab your TICKETS now, while you still can!

Ergo the return instruction at the bottom of the turn function was pulling a random location. Anyway a change from a return to a goto and everything is shipshape, savvy? Then download the […]
