Just in time for the holidays we've come up with one more theme for the new HexPummer Lantern. Behold, the winter theme! It has a snowman, snow fla

In other news, we'd like to welcome Robotev as our newest distributor - they're the first dedicated robotics shop in Bulgaria. Check them out at www.robotev.com (you may want to brush up on your Bulgarian first!)
And we'd just like to send out a big "HAPPY THANKSGIVING!" to our fine American friends - may your belly fill with all the finest poultry your heart desires. While we will be open regular hours all this week and filling orders, please note that shipments into the US placed on Thursday the 27th will be delayed a day as couriers are also going to be eating a lot of turkey observing the holiday.

SparkFun hates robots.
We love SparkFun. Great group of people. Excellent products. It's just that they're... well... twisted and cruel. You see their RoboJoust event? We didn't take them serious when they said it was to be performed 4' off a concrete floor. But here's the proof. They're actually building the table that high off the ground. Next […]
