Weekend Tidbits

April 9, 2010

Being April in Calgary, it should come as no surprise to any of you that yesterday we had a lovely blizzard which melted and froze, coating everything in a delicious layer of ice. This, of course, is somehow connected to the fact that Solarbotics El Presidante, Dave, is currently in Las Vegas where it is most certainly not snowing. His excuse is that he's there for a pick-and-palace conference. We think he used voodoo witchcraft to escape the ugly weather while the rest of us had to stay and suffer.

Anyways.

We have a few small odds and ends for you to check out this weekend.

  • We're proud to announce a brand-new partnership with DitenTec. If you're looking for a distributor of Solarbotics parts in Argentina, they have you covered.
  • Our pals at GoRobotics.net are celebrating their 10th anniversary with a totally awesome contest. They have $1000 in prizes to hand out to those who createand enter a project. Hit up the link to check it out.
  • Robofest 2010 took place this March, and they've just posted some video and photos. Looks like it was a blast!

That about wraps things up for now. Have a good weekend everyone. Hopefully one without snow and ice.

Anyway, here's the PP8s and the PPH2, which are the "short" version of the PP8 and the necessary holder to mount them. If you have really tight spaces you need to test, these are the probes you'll need!

Solar Pendulum of DOOOM blogged on MAKE

I love MAKE magazine. I always enjoy reading (then trying) the projects in each magazine. I was a bit disappointed in their last issue where they didn't cover the complete process to make gunpowder, but that's a minor complaint. I just noticed on their blog that they're talking about our Solar Pendulum kit and Christopher […]

Rant: Some of us are in this "together" ...

As the crisis continues, we received more and more email notices from suppliers & vendors offering us "assistance" in this "time of need". From Ernie Johannson, Group head of North American Personal & Business Banking, BMO Financial Group (AKA: Bank of Montreal)? An email, titled "We're here to help during COVID-19", with a nondescript mention […]

Sumovore Line-follower

This link is a bit on the old side, but if you are thinking of entering the WCRG event next month, here's last year's champion's (Craig Limber) webpage about turning his Sumovore into an almost-as-good line follower! It's a good way to get into this rapidly-growing event...
