Hey everyone! The first week of November has already slid by, and that puts us coming up to Remembrance Day, or Veteran's Day for our pals in the US. We'll be closed on Wednesday, November 11th to observe the event. We will resume the processing/shipping of orders and responding to any correspondence we've received when […]
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!

New Product: 50 Meter GroovyNoodle Wire ...
GroovyNoodle wire. Some is good; LOTS is better. We absolutely love our GroovyNoodle wire, with its super flexibility and silicone-jacket insulation in 7.5M "casual use" spools. For more ambitious projects that need more length, we now have our GroovyNoodle in value-priced 50 meter spools! It's more of our favorite 24AWG wire with a whopping 40 […]
