In this case, we are very excited to be going to the Open Hardware Summit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a really soon – on […]
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!

PDXBot 04 video - it's good!
Ok people, the sales on the PDXBot 04 DVD have been less-than-stellar. I brought them in primarily because I thought other people wanted to see robot competitions that you may not otherwise get to see. Also, a portion of the proceeds go to help the PARTS club in Portland Oregon. If you have a robo-geek […]
