Western Canadian Robot Games 2005!
Dave Hrynkiw
May 16, 2005
Well, we had a fun time at this year's Western Canadian Robot Games! Especially since Solarbotics' own Grant McKee won advanced minisumo with "Ender's Wraith", and although he also placed 2nd with "S.S. Solo" (but wasn't legally able to win 2 spots), the third place bump up went to...me! Dave Hrynkiw, with 2Strong2Bad!
Besides the competition, we had a good time talking directly with our customers, and at the Solarbotics Barbeque feeding them large quantities of BBQ food and suitable beverages.
The actual event was pretty well run and attended, but I personally missed being in the well-lit SAIT "Heart" building where the event had been the last few years. The bottles of "Solarbotics" ice-water were well used and appreciated in the warmer Symposium room!
See you there next year!

Ex-Interns and their projects...
Jerome Demers, our ex-intern of two seasons, just sent me a link to one of his latest projects. The (sigh...) "Fart-o-Meter". He even put it up on Instructables too. Good to see the experience he got at Solarbotics is being put to good use...
Solarbotics has been operating for more than 25 years, bringing electronics know-how and supplies to both the electronics professional and hobbyist. We'll be happy to help you too!
