Well, we survived the skeleton Tuesday, now it's time for Cool Links Wednesday:

Mathematically Correct Breakfast: How to Slice a Bagel into Two Linked Halves

T8 the Bio Inspired 3D Printed Spider Octopod Robot
Don't like spiders? Me neither! But this one has some pretty amazing moves that any disco dancer would be jealous of. And it is made of smooth 3D printed plastic.

Sumovore Atmel Brainboard code upgrade

The Atmel Brainboard is a very popular add-on to our Sumovore Sumo robot.

New Product. Just One. But Some Other St...
