We've managed to dig up enough parts to get six ScoutWalker III's together in time for Christmas. We'll have them ready by the end of the week for shipping, so if you don't mind waiting for your order to go until then, feel free to pre-order now!
Wednesday Links: The Cloud, Laser Wood a...
Solar botics
July 9, 2014
Well, we missed out on spring, but summer is finally here and it is hot! And that means we have fireworks, mosquitoes, green stuff on trees, bunnies and sparrows, air conditioning, donuts, lasers, er... that is year round. That’s why today we have some thunder clouds in order to provide some cooling, laser bent wood to provide some funky patterns, and turtles. They are always good to have no matter the weather.

Just like turtles, LEDs add to any project, so hence them.
