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:

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!
