Time for a big product update! Again, we're thrilled with the Grove line of microcontroller-interconnected thingies, so heres a few more Grove-compatibles, SD cards, and a lonesome piezo speaker:
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).

A note to our customers that the Solarbotics staff will be busy feasting and visiting with family for Canada's Thanksgiving Holiday on Monday, October 11. Any orders received between Saturday and Monday will be processed on Tuesday, October 12.
Well, we waited. Patiently you might say. After all, this Friday post is coming to you on a Saturday afternoon. But we still didn't receive any customer projects to show off. We don't ask much. Send us a photo. Maybe a handful of words to accompany it. But noooOooOooOOOoo. Now here we are, already part […]
The Wearable Tech Gala MakeFashion 2015 at the Telus Spark Science Centre is fast approaching, but there is still some time to get your tickets. It's been 3 years and the event is getting bigger and better, and we are looking forward to seeing the new creations, some of which are coming together with the […]
