Pololu Wheel Encoder (for 42x19mm wheel)Alriiiight - it's time to shake and twist and turn! We got three new toys to show off, and they're all about movement:

Speaking of movin' and groovin', Alfredo Borboa pointed out a cool project he's working on that involves attaching markers to our Photopoppers.

If you're in the area, it'll be on display in Mexico City at the National Center of the Arts, October 1st to October 10th. Go check it out!
