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:

"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.

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!
