So, like, it's that magical time of year where we of Albertaville, Canada get a long weekend. We don't even have a reason anymore. We just figure that we ought to have one, so we come up with a name that sounds semi-official and run with it. "Quick, we need to figure out what to […]
Things for Movin' an' a-Groovin'
Dave Hrynkiw
September 25, 2009
Alriiiight - it's time to shake and twist and turn! We got three new toys to show off, and they're all about movement:
Now, these are fantastic and all, but we know that everyone has the same burning question that can't be avoided. "How do I make my moovin-and-a-groovin'-bot if I only want to use a single AAA battery?!" Well, we'd use the 1-Cell AAA Holder that we brought in just for this very purpose. But I guess if you want to use it on something other than your movin'-and-a-groovin'-bot, that would be okay too.
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!

We've just got in our newly-machined RW2 hubs & tires - and they're better! Instead of the old 1/8" axle hole that didn't quite fit the GM11a-14a series correctly (they were too loose), these new ones fit perfectly with their 3mm hole!
Bread(boarding) is fun!
Mmm, bread. Sandwiches, french toast, garlic bread... Around here, many of us are partial towards sourdough. But being an electronics company, we also have a soft spot for breadboards, of the prototyping/circuit variety. Don't get us wrong - normal breadboards are great too (the inability to cut our bread would surely lead to the collapse […]
New Items!
Besides introducing a whole new batch of Push-Pogopins (and their measurements) into the 'misc' category, we've just introduced our 'D2' Germanium Diode. This diode is pretty good - better than the 1N270 and 1N34 types, with a voltage dropout of only 0.36V at 50mA! We're not exactly sure what type it is, but since we […]
