We're thinking of coming out and hitting the pavement of Robolympics in March. Thinking of coming? Perhaps we'll see you there!
Wednesday, the boring ol' hump of the week. What better way to pull through than with some distractions? Here's our latest batch of neat-o internet distract-o thingers:

Sylvan Lake Robotics Club Looking for Members If you're around the Sylvan Lake area and what to dip your toes into the big ol' pond that is robotics, Mark Custance is trying to get a club off the ground. |

Adventures With Wall-E (Full Sized Replica) Nice video segment about the builder of a real life-size Wall-E (one of my favorite robot characters). If you can get past the "Radio-voice" announcer, it's a sweet piece. |

Robotic Start-up Companies There's a map being developed to track new Robotic Start-ups. Unfortunately we've been in business too long to qualify, but this might still be a neat resource to discover some cool stuff in your neck of the woods. |

Soft Autonomous Robot Inches Along Like an Earthworm Memory wire + plastic tubes = robot wooooorms! We're not sure if this is cool, or just plain creepy. Regardless, it is impressive. |

ATMOS Autonomous Plane/Quadrotor It's the ultimate UAV for people that want to have something that's neither a autonomous plane or a quadrotor, but still want both (huh?). This project from the Tu Delft University (in the Netherlands) is mighty cool. |

Robotic Bird Takes Flight Into the Future Hey look, it's another flying thing! This is a remote-controlled flying robot that flaps. It's quite hypnotizing to watch. So hypnotizing that it was featured in a TED talk a while ago. |

Autonomous Robotic Plane Flies Indoors at MIT Another flying thing! Those MIT goons do it again with some amazing parking-garage flying of autonomous aircraft. |

Light Painting Mosaics by Brian Matthew Hart We've all seen long exposure light painting photographs, but these ones by Brian Matthew Hart take it to a whole new level. He's broken up some single images into hundreds of smaller, individually-show frames that were put together separately. |
In other news, I've decided that these Cool Link posts have an unacceptable lack of electronic/70's British rock visual puns. Let's fix that right now (bonus points if you can guess the first one before seeing the second).

Well ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure we can all say at this point that our current website is in need of a bit of love (we certainly think so). Now's your chance to speak up and tell us what kind of shiny new features you'd like to see implemented in the new site. We've already […]
A while ago we showed off the prototype/demo for the All-Seeing Eye, and from the positive response it got we decided to bring it back as An Actual Thing. We even mounted it to a DragonTail, and let it go for a spin around the office. Check it out: We briefly toyed with the idea […]
Well it looks like that time of year when snow's in the air and we are out of the office for those precious holiday-tastic days. Over the next two weeks(ish) Solarbotics/HVWTech will be closed on the following dates: December 24th (Wednesday) December 25th (Thursday) December 26th (Friday) January 1st (Thursday) January 2nd (Friday) During this […]
