Our friends at Bare Conductive, whose awesome lineup of products we carry, shared a few more interesting how-to tutorials (previously).
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).

We do some stuff around the office just for fun once-in-a-while. One of these projects resulted in this set of Vibebots, built by Grant McKee. Simple, a bit noisy, but FUN!
Stupid calendar! I almost wanted to congratulate everyone on surviving Friday the 13th... But the dumb calendar did not cooperate. So I have no choice but to complain. Maybe even submit a report to the calendar. Those stubborn days and their numbers, they will answer for such a misbehavior. Arduino Due $58.95 The long awaited […]
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with deep regret that I present you with our last news post of August. Next week will become September, which causes uncontrollable weeping for students, parents of students, and anyone who was ever a student. Lots of pain all around. Heck, some of the Calgary trees are already starting to […]
